Welcome to the Department of Clinical Medicine 

We aim to conduct medical research and education at a high international level within medicine and clinical nutrition.

Our skilled scientific staff are primarily affiliated with the healthcare institutions in Western Norway, and much of our activity takes place in close collaboration with the hospitals in the region.

You are welcome to visit our administration on the 7th floor of the laboratory building, at Haukeland University Hospital.

Education

We provide professional training in medicine, as well as bachelor's and master's education in nutrition. In addition, employees at the institute teach dentistry and dental hygienist students in pathology.

Lower birth weight at delivery is linked to neurodevelopmental problems

UiB research shows that being born to term with a weight lower than 3,5 kilos is related to a higher risk of developing neurodevelopmental problems such as cerebral palsy and autism.

Research groups

Research groups are the backbone of medical research. They do research better, more focused and enjoyable.

At the Department of Clinical Medicine we have the basis for much medical research, namely good patient materials.

Research teams collaborate independent of the boundaries of sections, department and institutions. You can find a selection of our research groups here.

 

Field areas

The departments consists of eleven sections. The subjects within these are: orthopedics, urology, plastic surgery, anesthesiology, pathology, radiology, neurology, neurosurgery, ear nose and throat, chirurgia minor, psychiatry, oftamologi (eye), dermatology (skin), gastroenterology, gastrointestinal surgery, nutrition and nephrology.
