Board of the Faculty of Medicine

The Board of the Faculty of Medicine is responsible for overall guidelines and decisions concerning the activities of the faculty. The members are elected by the faculty’s academic staff following proposals from a nominating committee. The academic staff representatives represent different areas of the faculty’s operations.
