Leiden University Medical Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum (English: Leiden University Medical Center), or LUMC, is the academic hospital affiliated with the Universiteit Leiden (University of Leiden), of which it forms the medical faculty. It resulted from the merge of the Academisch Ziekenhuis Leiden (Leiden Academic Hospital) and the Medical Faculty of Leiden University in the late 1990s; similar arrangements exist for most academic hospitals in The Netherlands.
The hospital has clinical departments of all medical specialties, and acts as a tertiary referral centre for the northern part of the province of South Holland. In addition, it has a wide range of research programmes in both clinical and basic medical research, leading to a large output of scientific publications.
The medical school accepts students from all over The Netherlands.
