St. Marianna University School of Medicine and Yokohama City University have concluded a comprehensive partnership agreement aimed at strengthening collaboration in the fields of education, research, and healthcare. In recent years, the environment surrounding Japan has changed significantly due to factors such as the declining birthrate and a decrease in international competitiveness. In this situation, universities are required to restructure their diverse roles, including human resource development that meets social needs, strengthening research capabilities and implementing their results in society, and promoting co-creation with local communities and internationalization. As universities with medical schools and affiliated hospitals in Kanagawa Prefecture, St. Marianna University School of Medicine and Yokohama City University will mutually utilize their educational and research resources and knowledge in the medical field to advance organizational collaboration in a wide range of areas. Through this, they aim to contribute to the development of Japan's academics and medical care, as well as the development of human resources who will lead the next generation, while striving to return results to society.
