The School of Medicine strives to produce outstanding educators, physicians and scientists. We will do so by providing quality education to students, residents, post-doctoral trainees, practicing physicians and the public that integrates the latest research advances with the best clinical practices. The School of Medicine will provide outstanding clinical care, which incorporates the latest advances in scientific knowledge, to all of our patients and the citizens of the State of Indiana. The quality care we provide will be done in a manner that supports and advances education and research. The research mission of the Indiana University School of Medicine is to advance knowledge about health and behavior and to make discoveries leading to improved prevention and treatment of disease, including the education of caregivers and the delivery of health services.
Research is the foundation of both medical education and clinical care.
