The Lisbon School of Medicine is a century-old School, integrated in the Universidade de Lisboa, whose excellence and prestige are nationally and internationally recognized, earning it the Gold Medal for Outstanding Services of the Ministry of Health in 2015.

Based in a Campus where there is a Referral Hospital (Centro Hospitalar Lisboa Norte) and a relevant centre of basic research (Instituto de Medicina Molecular), since 2009 the Faculty has integrated, together with these two institutions, the Lisbon Academic Medical Centre, a pioneering concept in Portugal, with obvious competitive advantages for the organization of education, research and differentiated medical practice centres.
