It used to be one of the four [[history|historical]] [[Faculty (university)|faculties]] of the [[Leopold-Franzens-Universität Innsbruck]], but it became an independent (by itself) university in 2004. == History == The medical tradition dates back long before the university began. The first hospital began in the silver-mining city of [[Schwaz]] nearby in 1307. Because people grew as years went by, a medical faculty was added to the university, begun in 1669 by [[Leopold I (Holy Roman Empire)|Emperor Leopold I]], making it the first of its kind in the Alpine region. == Nobel Prize laureates == * [[Fritz Pregl]], 1923 (chemistry - for his contributions to quantitative organic microanalysis) * [[Adolf Windhaus]], 1928 (chemistry - for his work on sterols and their relation to vitamins) * [[Hans Fischer]], 1930 (chemistry - for the synthesis of haemin) == Other websites == * {{Cite web |url= http://www.i-med.ac.at/ |title=The website of the Medical University of Innsbruck |work=i-med.ac.at |accessdate=30 November 2010}} * [http://www.haardt.net/studyinat.htm Study in Austria: A Guide] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050117092959/http://www.haardt.net/studyinat.htm |date=2005-01-17 }} {{coord|47|15|44|N|11|23|08|E|display=title|region:AT-07_type:edu_source:dewiki}} [[Category:Colleges and universities in Austria]] [[Category:Innsbruck]] [[Category:2004 establishments in Eu
