The Collegium Medico-Chirurgicum Josephinum or Josephinian Military Academy of Surgery (simply Josephinum for short) was an academy of military medicine founded in Vienna by Emperor Joseph II in 1784.[1] In 1874 its functions were transferred to other institutions,[1] and its building now houses the Josephinum Medical Museum of the Medical University of Vienna.
