medical university

Physician training institution

A medical university is an institution of higher education focused on training doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.

Unlike a medical school, which is typically a division within a larger university, a medical university operates independently with medicine as its central mission: She enrolled at the medical university to become a surgeon.

Some medical universities also conduct biomedical research and offer programs in pharmacy, dentistry, and public health.
