Although the Department of Medicine cherishes its past accomplishments – among its graduates are five Nobel laureates in Medicine, as well as many leaders in academic medicine, research, healthcare organizations, government and industry – our primary mission is to care for today’s patient with state-of-the-art practice, educate the medical leaders of tomorrow and unravel medicine’s mysteries through clinical and basic research.
