[The relationship between the medical school and the university].

University medicine is presented as a relationship of three partners: the university hospital, the medical school, and the university as a whole. The university gains from the interdisciplinary potential of the medical school in teaching and research, and vice versa. Vis-à-vis the university hospital, the medical school is strengthened by the university's independent political standing and its expertise in legal and budget issues. Just as the financial separation between the university hospital and the medical school provided more clarity, a clear financial accounting between the medical school and university is possible, based on the parameters by which money is allocated to the university and the central services provided to the medical school. To make full use of the opportunities that university medicine can provide, the university has to act strategically as a whole.
