Staff members are employed by both the University Hospital and the Regional Hospital in accordance with the University Hospital's third level/teaching roles and collaborate in clinical trials. Located in one of Italy's busiest commercial and passenger city harbours, many people travel to and from countries in the East and the Balkans via the city of Ancona, where UNIVPM is located. The Faculty of Medicine is committed to using an interdisciplinary approach (such as One Health initiatives) to maximise the effectiveness of healthcare interventions and other programmatic efforts.
