The Tartu University Clinic (Estonian: Tartu Ülikooli Kliinikum) is a healthcare and medical teaching service in Tartu, Estonia, and a subsidiary of the Tartu University. Its administrative services are located in two buildings on Puusepa Street; its buildings are located throughout the city of Tartu. As an exception, the Clinic's andrology clinic has a facility in Tallinn, on Gonsiori Street.
The clinic is the largest employer of Tartu.
The clinic had a pioneering role in the study of mental illnesses as it was the world's first university clinic with a psychiatry department. Famous German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin worked there.
The surgery of the clinic is connected with works of famous Russian surgeons Nikolai Pirogov (worked there in 1836-1840) and Nikolai Burdenko (worked there in 1906-1918).

Famous quotes containing the word university:
“It is well known, that the best productions of the best human intellects, are generally regarded by those intellects as mere immature freshman exercises, wholly worthless in themselves, except as initiatives for entering the great University of God after death.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
