The Paracelsus Medizinische Privatuniversität was founded in 2002 with the support of its founders and benefactors, the pro-vincial, the municipal and regional administrations of Salzburg and private sponsors. The Paracelsus University is a young university with the highest professional standards. We consider our mission in teaching and research in the field of human medicine and in related health sciences disciplines. Our stu-dents are trained as MDs and are able to attain a PhD in mole-cular medicine at our university institutes, at the Salzburg Uni-versity Hospital, and at selected teaching hospitals. In addition, we offer a variety of postgraduate programs and degree courses. At the heart of all our endeavors lie the patients. The Paracelsus Medizinische Privatuniversität is its international network in its teaching and research. Constructive and beneficial partner-ships in medical and scientific fields have been established with the Mayo Medical School (USA), Charles University in Prague, the universities of Yale, Milan, Cambridge, as well as the national universities.
Library
At the request of our patron Donald Kahn, whose generous support made possible the establishment and the provision of the university library, which was named for his deceased friend Joseph Troy and his wife Brigitta. The American lawyer Joseph Troy, who was awarded the Austrian Honorary Cross for Science and Art, had been an ardent patron of the Salzburg Festival throughout his life. In 1987 Josef Troy founded the “American Friends of Salzburg Festival”, which since his death in 2001, has been continued by his widow Brigitta.
