Organized since 1929, medical education, initially limited to the first year, was completed in 1962 with the opening of the 2nd and 3rd years. Since 1962, the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Namur has trained thousands of doctors who can be found in every region of the country and internationally. Research is also an essential pillar of the Faculty and its departments. Finally, service to society touches on several important aspects.

Welcoming remarks by the Dean
Jean-Michel Dogné, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, sends his best wishes to welcome the new students.
The studies
Training students in disease mechanisms and the search for as yet unknown or imprecise mechanisms, familiarizing them with diagnostic approaches and their refinement, as well as treatments and their improvements, without ever forgetting the psychological and social dimension - these are the teaching missions of the Faculty of Medicine. Proximity and high standards are two key words that condition these missions.
Research
The Faculty of Medicine relies on research activities ranging from fundamental approaches to clinical studies to support and keep its teaching up to date.
Service to society
Among the orientations of service to society, the Faculty of Medicine contributes in particular to development cooperation in projects with Africa and Asia. It has experience in the field of disability, and collaborates on paramedical training courses at Namur's Hautes Écoles, as well as with medical institutions located in the province and region.
Organization
The organization of the Faculty of Medicine is based on four departments: medicine, pharmacy, biomedical sciences and psychology.

A word from the Dean
Dear students, I hope you will identify with our fundamental values: high standards, friendliness and respect. High standards are crucial, because the professions you are destined for require a heavy workload, good resistance to stress and a great deal of responsibility. Friendliness is equally important, as it fosters the mental well-being essential to success in both your studies and your professional life. Finally, respect is an essential value. Welcome to this path, dear students!
