The fundamental part of the Institutions' mission is to pass on knowledge.
The University Hospitals of Lausanne, as its name indicates,
maintain close links with the University of Lausanne through its
Faculties of Medicine and Sciences. 
Training given to the medical and scientific personnel is the foundation of quality health care, research and education. Many physicians and professors are active in research, as well as holding teaching responsibilities at the university.
A great number of training programs are made available to the hospital staff and university students. These programs meet the standards of the evolving medical and scientific world, in order to always stay abreast.
