The Paracelsus Medical University in Salzburg was founded in 2002 with the support of its founders and benefactors, the pro-vincial, the municipal and regional administrations of Salzburg and private sponsors. The Paracelsus University is a young university with the highest professional standards. We consider our mission in teaching and research in the field of human medicine and in related health sciences disciplines. Our stu-dents are trained as MDs and are able to attain a PhD in mole-cular medicine at our university institutes, at the Salzburg Uni-versity Hospital, and at selected teaching hospitals. In addition, we offer a variety of postgraduate programs and degree courses. At the heart of all our endeavors lie the patients. The Paracelsus University ‘s hallmark is its international network in its teaching and research. Constructive and beneficial partner-ships in medical and scientific fields have been established with the Mayo Medical School (USA), Charles University in Prague, the universities of Yale, Milan, Cambridge, as well as the national universities.
Securing Salzburg in its development as a scientific center and economic hotspot is one of the Paracelsus Medical University’s main objectives. In addition to funding its research institutes, the Paracelsus Private Medical University supports the implementation of scientific projects at the university clinics and institutes with research funds.
