# List of medical schools in France

This list of medical schools in France includes current and developing academic institutions which award a Diplôme d'État de Docteur and a diplôme d'études spécialisées (DES). In France, there are 37 medical schools, known locally as "UFR de médecine" (Unités de Formation et de Recherche or "Unit for training and research" in English). They are part of universities and are associated with one of France's 29 university hospital centers (CHU). But they are traditionally called "Facultés de médecine". They are responsible for training students for the medical profession or for other medical professions (midwifery) or paramedical professions (speech therapist, orthoptist, occupational therapist, etc.).
With the Faure Law of 1968, medical faculties became part of a university. They ceased to exist as legal entities, becoming teaching and research units, then training and research units in 1984.
