GOVERNING BOARD

The Medical University of Vienna (MedUni Vienna)

Wolfgang Schütz, M.D.„MedUni Vienna is not only the largest medical organisation in Austria, it is also one of the most important top-level research institutions in Europe and provides Europe‘s largest hospital, the AKH in Vienna, with all of its medical staff. In its structuring and alignment MedUni Vienna relies on the „triple track" strategy. Research, education and patient care represent the three cornerstones of the university‘s system. This enables medical science to respond flexibly to the continually changing demands of the state and society.


With 31 university departments and clinics located in the Vienna General Hospital area, 12 centres of medical theory and a large number of highly specialised laboratories it also ranks among the main European top research institutions in the field of biomedicine. 7500 students and 2300 teaching personnel on campus and in 13 training hospitals make it the largest medical training facility in the German-speaking area and one of the top training establishments in Central Europe."
