Hokkaidō-Iryōdaigaku Station (北海道医療大学駅, Hokkaidō-Iryōdaigaku-eki) is a railway station on the Sasshō Line in Tōbetsu, Hokkaidō, Japan, operated by the Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido). The station is numbered G14[2] and serves the Tōbetsu Campus of the Health Sciences University of Hokkaido (HSUH). Since the closure of the railway between Shin-Totsukawa and this station on May 7, 2020, it has been the northern terminus of the line.
Lines
Hokkaidō-Iryōdaigaku Station is served by the Sasshō Line (Gakuen Toshi Line) from Sapporo.
Station layout
The station has two staggered side platforms serving two tracks. Both platforms can serve 6-car electrified trains. Platform 1 is the only track connected to the non-electrified single-track former section of the line towards Shin-Totsukawa; Platform 2 is a bay platform opened on 1 December 1995, serving the electrified line towards Sapporo.[3] After the closure of the non-electrified section, both platforms serve trains towards Sapporo. The station has automated ticket machines and Kitaca card readers (not equipped with regular ticket gates).[4] An overpass directly connects the HSUH to the station. The station is unattended and managed from Tōbetsu.

Electric services commenced from 1 June 2012, following electrification of the line between Sapporo and this station.[3]
In December 2018, it was announced that the station would become the terminus station of the Sasshō Line as a result of the closure of the non-electrified section of the line in May 2020.[6] Services ceased from 18 April 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis; the line was officially closed on 7 May 2020 as planned.
