Mitaka Shinkawa Hospital was originally started as a sanitarium for tuberculosis at the current place of Mitaka campus of Kyorin University in 1953.[4] Two years after, the training school for assistant nurses opened. The hospital gradually added psychiatric and general medical wards, and, in 1963, Tokyo Mitaka Shinkawa General Hospital was chartered.
In 1966, Kyorin Educational Foundation was founded and Kyorin Junior College (ja), which was reorganized to Faculty of Health Sciences of Kyorin University in 1979, started to develop Medical Laboratory Scientists. When Kyorin University School of Medicine was established in 1970, Tokyo Mitaka Shinkawa General Hospital was reconstituted as Kyorin University Hospital.
The university has four undergraduate faculties and three graduate schools.[5]
