The medical faculty is characterized by its "networking" with Jena's technology sector, creating a high-tech learning environment.

• SkillsLab Jena: A modern simulation facility where students practice clinical skills (ultrasound, suturing, physical diagnosis) using high-fidelity simulators and standardized patients.
• Center for Sepsis Control & Care (CSCC): A leading international research center integrated into the faculty, offering unique opportunities for students interested in intensive care and immunology.
• Werner Kaiser Research Center: Recently expanded, it features state-of-the-art MRI Research Infrastructure for projects ranging from neurological mapping to metabolic studies.
• Leibniz Institute on Aging (FLI): Collaborates closely with the medical faculty on the molecular biology of aging and age-related diseases.
• Digital Anatomy Suite: Features 3D visualization and virtual dissection tools to complement the classic cadaveric anatomy labs.
• Medical Library (ThULB): Part of the Thuringian University and State Library, providing 24/7 digital access and specialized medical reading rooms at the Klinikum site.
• Center for Medical Optics and Photonics: A collaboration hub focusing on laser medicine and advanced diagnostic imaging.
• Computerized Exam Center: A high-capacity digital hall designed for secure, tablet-based national ranking exams (EDN).
• Jenaer Uni-Klinik Baugeschehen: A massive ongoing construction project that has modernized the Lobeda campus into one of Europe's most cohesive clinical campuses.
• Ärzte-Scout Thüringen: A unique advisory service (based at 건물 8, Carl-Zeiß-Straße 12) that supports medical students with questions regarding outpatient medicine and career planning.

The Universitätsklinikum Jena (UKJ) is the primary teaching site, relocated largely to the modern Lobeda Campus (Am Klinikum 1):

• Scale: Comprises 26 clinics and 25 institutes.
• Specialized Centers: Includes a newly certified Pediatric Oncology Center and a world-renowned heart surgery unit.
• Technology: UKJ is a pioneer in "Telemedicine" for rural Thuringia, allowing students to learn digital healthcare management.

Jena remains one of the most affordable high-tier medical options in Germany as Thuringia does not charge tuition for international students for the primary medical degree.
