Fr. Deutsch at the obstetric clinic of Tartu University; that school of midwives is considered to be the predecessor of the present college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within about 200 years the university has been merged with different schools, had different names (the best known is the name Tartu Medical School\/Tartu Meditsiinikool that was borne by the college in 1960\u20132005), and provided education and training in different specialist fields and at different levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 2005 the university has legally been functioning as a professional higher education institution; that change was possible due to the excellent results of international accreditation in 2004.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teaching and study of the university has been conducted in different buildings, but from 2011 TARTUH has its own study building.&nbsp;In 2008 the Government of the Republic made a decision on funding the construction of a new study building of the college and on 24 November 2010 the first stone of the building was laid. In 2011 the study building of the college was completed in Nooruse 5 with the EU funding. In 2011 architect Tarmo Piirmets was rewarded the annual award for the internal design of the college by the Estonian Association of Interior Architects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">University is located at Nooruse 5, Tartu. The university\u2019s student dormitory is housed in the same building complex. The current academic building was completed in 2011. Interior architect Tarmo Piirmets of Pink O\u00dc received the Estonian Association of Architects\u2019 annual award for the building\u2019s distinctive and functional interior design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tartu Health Care College\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0xxdY6ePS1c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legal form:&nbsp;A state institution of professional higher education administered by the Estonian Ministry of Education and Research.
