Teaching, research and diagnostics are carried out according to the biopsychosocial model in three basic research centers and four unaffiliated institutes. The scope and the content of the research centers are organized to optimally exploit the research potential and to achieve high visibility within the university and outside it. The growing specificity of the research profile makes the research centers increasingly attractive partners for (clinical) researchers within Med Uni as well as for regional, Austrian, European and global cooperation and networks. The essential tasks of the research centers remain high-quality research-driven teaching and specialized training in the individual disciplines.
