Campus

The Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin encompasses four locations, each one termed one "Campus" - the plural form being "Campi". The Latin word "Campus" originally meant an “un-used field“. Newer definitions of "Campus" refer to an enclosed area, usually for colleges or universities, with several buildings for research, teaching, studies, relaxation, and living quarters for students and teachers.

Medical care and treatment is offered on three campi, teaching and research is offered on all four campi. The four campi of the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin are:

• Charité Campus Benjamin Franklin (CBF) in Berlin-Steglitz with additional branches Fabeckstraße (Phoniatrics and Dermatology) and Eschenallee 3 (Psychiatry)
• Charité Campus Berlin Buch (CBB) in northeast Berlin
• Charité Campus Mitte (CCM) in central Berlin
• Charité Campus Virchow-Klinikum (CVK) in Berlin-Wedding

The Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin with its four campi is a joint institute of the Freie Universität Berlin and the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
