We train more than 2200 students in human medicine and dentistry. This ranks us as one of the largest medical faculties in Switzerland. What makes our degree programs unique in terms of content is our strong emphasis on practical relevance, our diversity of subjects, and our high level of innovation. Close links between basic research, the clinics, and engineering sciences create the optimal conditions for cutting-edge medical research and translation. In addition to the pre-clinical institutes and the School of Dental Medicine, the Faculty includes two university hospitals: Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, and Universitäre Psychiatrische Dienste (UPD).
Here you will find an overview of all organizational units belonging to the Faculty or in which the Faculty participates.

Media Release
Researchers at the University of Bern and Inselspital have developed a test to simplify the diagnosis of allergies. Its effectiveness has now been confirmed in clinical samples from children and adolescents suffering from a peanut allergy. The test achieves even higher diagnostic accuracy than standard tests.
The Faculty of Medicine is professionalizing its executive management: the position of Dean is now full-time instead of part-time. In addition, it is now linked to the role of Director of Teaching and Research of the Insel Gruppe. Both changes are unique among medical faculties in Switzerland.
