The Faculty of Medicine of the University of Oslo is the oldest and largest research and educational institution in medicine in Norway. It was founded in 1814, effectively as a Norwegian continuation of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Copenhagen, the only university of Denmark-Norway until 1811. It was Norway's only medical faculty until the Cold War era.

The Dean is the Faculty's chief executive. From 2023 Hanne-Cathrin Flinstad Harbo is the elected dean. Her team consists of four Deputy Deans: Pro-Dean for Research and Innovation Jan G. Bjålie, Pro-Dean for Studies Magnus Løberg, Vice-Dean for Research and Research Education Grete Dyb and Vice-Dean for Bachelor and Master Studies Eli Feiring.

The Faculty consists of three institutes and one center: Institute of Clinical Medicine, Institute of Basic Medical Science, Institute of Health and Society and Centre for Molecular Biosciences and Medicine Norway (NCMBM).

Core activities are research, education, dissemination and innovation. The Faculty's teaching and research ranges from basic biomedical disciplines via clinical studies to health topics with a global profile. In addition to the medical program, the faculty offers studies in clinical nutrition, health management, international community health, interdisciplinary health Research, public health and epidemiology.

The faculty has around 2,000 employees (1300 man-years), 2200 students and 1400 PhD candidates[1]. Campuses are at various hospitals in the Oslo area.
