The University Hospital OWL (UK OWL) of Bielefeld University is a university hospital in Ostwestfalen-Lippe (OWL). It is made up of specialist clinics from the three hospitals Evangelisches Klinikum Bethel, Klinikum Bielefeld and Klinikum Lippe. Other hospital operators are to be integrated. Staffing began in 2019 and teaching operations started in fall 2021.

History
With the founding of the OWL University Hospital and the establishment of the OWL Faculty of Medicine at Bielefeld University, the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia pursued the goal of strengthening North Rhine-Westphalia as a location for university medicine and increasing the number of trained doctors. The administrative district of Detmold previously had no university medical training facility. The process of identifying three cooperation partners began on June 14, 2018. In July 2019, cooperation agreements were signed with Evangelisches Klinikum Bethel, Klinikum Bielefeld and Klinikum Lippe.

In 2020, the University Hospital OWL joined the national research network of university medicine on COVID-19.

At the beginning of 2021, the state government in Düsseldorf approved the medical degree course in Bielefeld. The course is set to start in the winter semester 2021/2022 with 60 study places. On April 15, 2021, the Foundation for University Admissions launched the official admission procedure for medical study places for the winter semester 2021/22 for an initial 60 study places. From 2025, 300 first-year students will be able to begin their university studies each year. At the end of March 2021, seven clinical professorships had been filled, ten further clinical professorships were in the process of being filled and ten vacancies were in preparation. Further appointment procedures should follow. The Heart and Diabetes Center North Rhine-Westphalia in Bad Oeynhausen will strengthen the OWL Faculty of Medicine in research, teaching and patient care. The establishment of the OWL University Hospital is also intended to contribute to general and GP care in Ostwestfalen-Lippe and other rural regions.
