Research and teaching for the good of the patient

The guiding principle of the university clinics and university establishments at the Vienna General Hospital is the combination of health care, teaching and research.

The wide range and variety of science and teaching, supported by extensive capital investment, permits top-class medicine and training.

The methods applied are justifiable, repeatable and verified. The acquired know-how is made available nationally and internationally, and results are continually evaluated.

Members of various professions are involved in both research and teaching. They contribute to the reputation of the Vienna General Hospital as an important research and training centre for the medical and health care professions.
