The Jessenius Faculty of Medicine (Slovak: Jesseniova lekárska fakulta) is a medical school of Comenius University located in Martin, Slovakia.

The current dean of the medical school is Andrea Čalkovská, a professor of physiology, who succeeded gynecologist Ján Danko in 2018.

Another chapter in the school's history started with the Velvet Revolution and the fall of communism (1989), in which the student movement played a major role.

Today, there are students from more than 20 countries, mainly from Scandinavia (especially Norway) and the United States, studying general medicine at the faculty.

The school's campus is located on Small Hill (Slovak: Malá Hora) and consists of four separate buildings.

The historical M. R. Štefánik building is home to the three National Centres of Excellence, the school's nursing academy, and is also used for the teaching of Latin for first year medical students.

The assembly hall houses the dean's office and the aula magna, which itself is used for conferences, graduations, inaugurations, matriculation, and other events.

The center is located adjacent to the Aula Magna and is mainly a research facility, but also houses many departments with laboratories for the teaching of preclinical and paraclinical subjects such as pathophysiology, medical chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, immunology, microbiology, etc.

[12] It is located adjacent to the school campus between the Little Hill and the Big Hostel, and its large reading halls are heavily frequented by medical students.

Applicants must have completed their secondary school education with good grades, reached the age of 17 or more, and must show solid knowledge of biology and chemistry through a 160 question entrance examination that can be undergone once a year.

In addition to passing the entrance examination, an extensive list of documentation must be submitted for the student to be eligible for admission, including the secondary school certificate, motivational letter, the curriculum vitae, etc.

The international students must also show a good comprehension of the English language before applying, and are taught Slovak after admission.

The school is gradually profiling itself through six major research areas: the respiratory system in health and disease, diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system related to care for mothers and children, malignant cancers, selected internal disorders, and the working environments' adverse effect on the human health.

The Centre of Palliative Care of Bjørnstjerne Bjornson was established in 2012 as a joined initiative of Prof. Kjell Erik Strømskag, MD, PhD.

During the entire existence of the school, the total number of published material stands at 17,400 publications and 17,991 citations (2,913 cited documents).

Involved in providing lectures, seminars, discussions, cultural, social, and sports events, exhibitions, and so on, MKM organizes professional clinical practice, and domestic and foreign student exchange programs.

[18] Every fall semester, a modern variant of the medieval central European tradition of deposition (Slovak: Beánie) is held.

The club, which was promoted after the 2011/2012 season, currently plays in the 2nd tier of the league system, and consists solely of female students at JFM.

[21] In addition, the students have organized teams in football, ultimate, volleyball, field hockey, basketball and road cycling.

[22] JFMED is undertaking several significant projects, including establishing Slovakia's first Biobank and constructing a new teaching hospital on-campus.

These initiatives aim to enhance the university's research capabilities and provide advanced clinical training facilities.
