Medical University of Innsbruck
The Medical University of Innsbruck is an Austrian university located in Innsbruck. It was previously part of the Leopold-Franzens-Universität Innsbruck's four historical faculties before becoming an autonomous institution in 2004. The medical legacy began even before the institution was founded, with the establishment of the first hospital in the nearby silver-mining city of Schwaz in 1307.
The first university, founded in 1669 by Emperor Leopold I, comprised a medical school. The medical faculty was separated from the Leopold-Franzens University under the University Act of 2002, and the Medical University of Innsbruck was created as a distinct university. The Med-Uni now has approximately 3,000 students and 1,800 employees. It is western Austria's most important medical research and teaching facility, as well as the home university of many Tyroleans, South Tyroleans, and students from the Vorarlberg Province.
