Jichi Medical University Station opened on 27 April 1983 to serve the new Green Town Shimotsuke housing estate and the adjacent Jichi Medical University Hospital. Choosing the name was contentious: host municipality Kokubunji preferred Shin-Koganei, while neighbouring Minamikawachi pressed for Yakushiji after a nearby temple; the university name prevailed just before opening. The station passed from JNR to JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987. Automatic ticket gates were installed in 2000 and Suica service began on 18 November 2001. The English signage was updated from "Jichiidai" to "Jichi Medical University" on 1 March 2017.

Until Ashikaga Flower Park Station opened on 1 April 2018, Jichi Medical University Station held the title of the newest JR station in Tochigi Prefecture.
