What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001052) β€” you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 92 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 3.9β˜… β€” read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Japan yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics β€” slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

Real reviews from students.

I went to this university hospital to visit Haruo, and I was so impressed by how spacious it was that it was a university hospital that I was exhausted. The parking garage was hard to find, so I drove towards the hospital first. The quickest way to get there is to ask the security guard at the gate.

????

I was a student at Osaka University of Pharmaceutical Sciences. I enrolled because there were rumors that it would be merged with a municipal university, but an alumnus said something about tradition and so the deal didn't go through.
I ended up dropping out due to health issues.? …

????

This is the only place to entrust highly advanced treatments and surgeries. However, ultimately it depends on the doctor's personality. When it comes to long-term treatment for incurable diseases, it is inevitable that your doctor will change at a university hospital.

Masa T

The location in front of the station is extremely convenient. The building is relatively new, so it's clean. However, even if you make a reservation, they are always late. In the worst cases, they are often over an hour late, which is common in large hospitals.

aki Hiro

I hope they do something about the multi-story parking garage soon. The space in front of the ticket machine is extremely narrow and full of scratches from cars. The parking spaces are also small. I have never seen such a terrible multi-story parking garage.

???

I have been receiving treatment here for over 10 years since I had a serious accident. Everything was different. I was a little hesitant to get a consultation in the new building, but the checkout process, which usually takes a long time, seemed to be quick.

There is a car park and motorcycle parking lot on the back street, but the parking lot may be full depending on the time of day and you may not be able to get in. The front entrance is quite far! It gets crowded at the cash register from around 10:30.

????

I was admitted for a medical test, but the service was awful. I came to the hospital for an explanation of the test and hospitalization before the test, and paid, but on the day I was discharged, they charged me 40,000 yen, saying, "This is …

I am here for follow-up of kidney cancer results. Today, I am being monitored for the suspected metastasis. The results will be available later. There are few medical institutions that can provide follow-up of cancer, so this is the evaluation.

My family member was rushed here and received care here. There are two convenience stores inside, separate from the medical store, and I think there's a Dotour there, though I didn't use it myself. There's also a barber shop. It's so large …

I was hit from behind by a bicycle and was taken to Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University Hospital. It was far from my home, but the doctor and nurses who treated me well from the consultation to admission to surgery to discharge to …

They made the right decision to perform emergency surgery, and performed laparoscopic surgery that same day. There was almost no bleeding, and it was completed in the shortest time possible, so I am extremely grateful. I am truly grateful …

For over a month after being taken to the hospital by ambulance, I was treated by a team of nurses, so someone came to check on me every day. I was also assigned a pair of nurses, which made me feel very at ease. I felt very comfortable …

I have been receiving treatment here since last year. When I was hospitalized, I was looked after by doctors from various departments. They thoroughly investigated the name and cause of my illness and cured it. During my hospital stay, …

There's a student who goes around spreading the word that his depression is "slacking off." He's a sixth-year student from Nada University, Kyoto University, and now the University of Tokyo Medical School, who lectures at Kawaijuku and …

I traveled from USA to OMC in 2016 to receive bladder preservation therapy developed by Dr. Azuma and his staff. The level of care and compassion provided by all the professors, staff and students was unbelievably amazing compared to …

This is a university hospital in front of Hankyu Takatsuki Station.

I was hospitalized due to massive bleeding from the stool.
I visit this hospital regularly for a chronic condition. My trusted doctor transferred here from another medical school, so I've been following him around and …

????

Temperature checks and alcohol disinfection are thorough.
I have a chronic illness, so I make sure to visit the hospital once a month. I feel safe knowing that I have a doctor there. The staff are also quick and polite.

????

I called to say I was late because I had made a mistake with the appointment time, but the outpatient receptionist told me it was okay and to be careful when I got there. I was really touched by their words. Thank you.

????

Visiting a dermatologist is the worst. Even if you make an appointment, if the person in charge is transferred, you have to start over from scratch and the waiting time is more than two hours. ! Unsatisfied

I was hospitalized for tumor removal.
The hospital food is delicious. I personally felt it was much tastier than in-flight meals on airplanes. There aren't many items on the menu, but there was no …

They've taken great care and responded to requests for those who need a barrier reef, which has been extremely helpful! ?
The hospital itself is large, so when I asked the security guard near the …

????

This university hospital is famous and has even been featured on TV, but they're only there to make money, putting patients' feelings second. They only see patients who are convenient for them. …

???????

I didn't go there for medical treatment, but the security guards and staff were all very kind.
The reason I took away one star is that the clinic is divided into a north gate and a south gate.

???

It's been renovated and is now beautiful.
(It wasn't dirty before either.)
It takes a while to pay, but the in-house cafe and the cashier are close by, so you can kill time there.

?????

There is currently construction work underway in some areas of the hospital, making it somewhat of a maze. I almost got lost trying to get to the reception desk for the CT scan!

On weekdays, the security guard (at the parking lot) will take the borrowed wheelchair away, but on weekends and holidays (holidays) the security guard turns a blind eye. …

Many of the doctors who graduated from this university are kind and have good personalities. I wonder if they are taking classes on patient communication at the university?

After being hospitalized, I realized how hard the nurses must have worked. The ward is a little old, but of course it's clean. The food was delicious.
