From 1993 to the CENSIS summit: Campus Bio-Medico and the mission of integral medicine
The Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome was founded in 1993 on the initiative of a group of physicians and professionals associated with Opus Dei, aiming to create an academic institution combining scientific excellence with the integral formation of the person and the ethical values of medicine. The name reflects the university's biomedical vocation and its attention to the human dimension of care.
In the following years the Campus built its University Hospital — inaugurated in 1997 — which rapidly became a reference facility for the south-west Rome area. The strategy of combining clinical excellence, early training and personal values proved successful, leading the university to climb the CENSIS rankings to first place among Italian private universities.
Today Campus Bio-Medico is recognised as a model private medical university in Italy: high training quality, modern and self-sufficient campus, accredited hospital and a clear, coherent educational mission. Its model has influenced other Italian private medical universities.
