The Faculty of Medicine of Paris has been a part of the University of Paris since 1794, having its origins in the ancient Faculty of Medicine of Paris founded around 1200. When it was refounded in 1808, it moved into the buildings of the former Royal Academy of Surgery at 12 rue de l'École-de-Médecine, later renamed as the École de Médecine buildings, and into the former Cordeliers convent at 15 rue de l'École-de-Médecine, in the Latin Quarter campus of Paris. It was split into several different faculties in 1971.
Founded in the 12th century, this faculty was one of the ‘companies’ of the ancient University of Paris and was housed in the Hôtel de la Bûcherie until 1775, when it moved to the former École des Décrets on rue Jean-de-Beauvais before being closed in 1793.
Today, the Presidency of University of Paris Cité and the Museum of the History of Medicine occupy no. 12, while the Faculty of Health of Université Paris-Cité, its UFR of Medicine, as well as the Presidency of Sorbonne University and its Cordeliers Research Centre occupy no. 15.
