Why an Academic Medical Center?
You can expect to receive excellent patient care at many medical centers across the U.S. But where can you find highly specialized healthcare in an environment of lifelong learning and teaching? A place where curiosity is recognized and passion is the norm.
Where can you find doctors who also are teachers and researchers and investigate medical mysteries by applying breakthrough discoveries sometimes years before the new therapies are used in traditional medical settings?
Our academic medical center offers the best of two worlds: excellent intellectual study that translates to the most advanced and life-improving medical care for the people in our region. We maintain the high standards of educational rigor required of an academic institution while encouraging our physicians to continue to practice medicine. We believe that practicing physicians make better educators and that the best medical educators are those who never stop learning.
This is an environment of intellectual curiosity with the expertise to back it up. Every day, our experts improve lives through clinical innovation, early application of new treatments, breakthrough discoveries, and dynamic faculty leadership.
