About us

Profile

The Department of Clinical Medicine is the largest department at the Faculty of Health and holds the overall responsibility for the master's programmes in medicine and molecular medicine.

We conduct clinical research within all the medical specialties, and we have modern facilities for experimental surgery and medicine, as well as advanced imaging facilities. We collaborate closely with the regional hospitals - in particular Aarhus University Hospital - and the department’s research facilities are integrated throughout the hospitals where research and clinical education go hand in hand.

The department was officially established in 1972, but the experimental clinical research has taken place since 1935, when the first laboratories directly related to the clinical departments were established. Our aim for now and the future is that we want our department to be one of Denmark’s strongest research institutions and at the same time one of the best places to work and get your medical education.
