Vienna School of Medicine

The Vienna School of Medicine was a prominent group of scientists and physicians in the 19th and early 20th centuries based in Vienna who shaped modern biomedical science. They emphasized rigorous scientific research, experimental methods, and the study of anatomy, physiology, and pathology to understand health and disease. Their work laid foundation for modern medicine by promoting empirical research and integrating clinical practice with scientific discovery. Key figures included Johannes von Hebra, who advanced dermatology, and Theodor Billroth, a pioneer in surgery. Their approach helped transform medicine into a science-driven discipline, influencing medical education and research worldwide.
