Each internal medicine specialty cooperates to form a medical unit in the ward called General Internal Medicine to provide treatment in the ward. In the General Internal Medicine ward, specialists in infectious diseases, diabetes/metabolic diseases/endocrinology, rheumatology/collagen diseases, and nephrology as well as specialists in cardiovascular medicine, gastroenterology, respiratory medicine, hematology, and oncology provide treatment of a wide variety of diseases. The Cardiovascular Medicine, Gastroenterology, Respiratory Medicine, Oncology, and Hematology groups also have wards they operate.

Thus, in Internal Medicine at Teikyo University Hospital, specialists from each internal medicine specialty group work together seamlessly to provide clinical services in the outpatient clinic and hospital ward.
