Since the establishment of the university, we have been committed to the development of good doctors with high ethical standards and compassion. This approach starts with Albert Schweitzer's idea of Ehrfurcht vor dem Leben (respect for life), and the university crest bears this motto in Latin, Reverentia Vitae.
