Organization

The faculty of Medical Sciences of the University of Groningen is the second oldest medical faculty in The Netherlands. Like the university, it was established in 1614. Ever since the foundation of the Groningen University Hospital in 1797, hospital and faculty are cooperating closely.

In January 2015 the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) was established. The UMCG is the result of the amalgamation of the Faculty of Medical Sciences and the University Hospital.
