About Universitätsklinikum des Saarlandes

The work at the clinic rests on the three pillars of patient care, research, and teaching. Patient Care The UKS is a high-performance medical center with 30 clinics and 20 institutes. More than 50,000 patients are treated as inpatients and over 200,000 as outpatients here annually. A team of over 600 doctors and around 2,000 nursing staff cares for health in interdisciplinary and quality-certified centers. Teaching Around 2,000 students study human and dental medicine, human and molecular biology, and bioinformatics at the Saarland University's Faculty of Medicine. The Faculty of Medicine was founded in 1947 and is the nucleus of Saarland University. As an educator, the UKS is one of the largest in the state: 640 young people are trained annually in schools for health professions and educated as midwives, dietitians, orthoptists, MTRA, MTLA, PTA, physiotherapists, and not least, nurses. Research The UKS offers internationally networked top-level research. Numerous national and EU funding initiatives underscore the position that Saarland university medicine holds. Our internationally visible research forms the theoretical basis for future diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. In the commitment to training new generations of doctors and scientists, numerous jobs for national and international young researchers are created in the environment of this research work. The aim of this basic research is to constantly expand our knowledge of the causes of diseases and their effects – so research is also conducted in Homburg for your health.
