The Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care is one of the eleven divisions of the University Medical Center Utrecht (UMC Utrecht).

Three academic pillars
The Julius Center aims for a leading role in the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge in the field of health sciences and primary care. Therefore, the Center focuses on its three academic pillars:
• Research
• Education
• Care

We are proud of our pioneering research, high quality teaching programs for (bio) medical students, researchers, clinicians and other health care professionals and our care activities, including academic primary care in our health care centers in Utrecht.

Disciplines
The Julius Center has a structure that has been set up to ensure that our academic research, education and care activities are integrated and strengthened.

All the former components are combined within our seven disciplines:
• (Clinical) epidemiology;
• General Practice / Primary care;
• Public Health;
• Biostatistics;
• Medical Technology Assessment;
• Dietetics
• Medical Humanities.

Research is organized around four themes: Cardiovascular Diseases, Infectious Diseases, Cancer Epidemiology and Theoretical Epidemiology & Biostatistics. In each research theme our disciplines closely cooperate.
