Institute of Medicine

Welcome to the largest Institute at the University of Gothenburg

Our activities cover a broad area of knowledge, where we conduct successful research, from molecules to the community.

The research covers several of the major endemic diseases, including Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes, Obesity and Arthritis. Other strong areas are Public Health and Community Medicine, Respiratory Medicine, Haematology and Gastrointestinal Research. A new research field within innovation and entrerpreneurship is being formed.

We are responsible for a large part of the teaching of medical practice, all of the Public Health Program and the Dietitian Program, and parts of the training of Biomedical Technicians and Pharmacy. The Institute of Medicine has almost 280 registered postgraduate students.
