About the UW School of Medicine and Public Health
At the beginning of this century, Charles R. Van Hise vowed that the impact of the University of Wisconsin would be felt at the very boundaries of the state. This "Wisconsin Idea" has been expressed in many ways but nowhere more vividly than through programs of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. With a mission to meet the health needs of Wisconsin and beyond, the UW School of Medicine and Public Health established a statewide campus extending to every corner of Wisconsin, bringing better health care to all our communities.
Recognized as an international, national and statewide leader in educating physicians, investigating the causes of disease, exploring innovative solutions to medical problems and translating research into compassionate patient care, UW School of Medicine and Public Health seeks to attract the very best students, educators and researchers in pursuit of our mission.
Although we train students to work in every area of patient care and research, UW School of Medicine and Public Health has chosen seven areas of medicine on which to focus our resources.
These include:
- Aging,
- Cancer,
- Cardiovascular and Respiratory Sciences,
- Neuroscience,
- Population and Community Health Sciences,
- Rural Health and
- Women's Health.
Through programs that are interdisciplinary and translational, we are at the vanguard of today's medicine and tomorrow's cures.
UW School of Medicine and Public Health offers students, educators and researchers access to all of the benefits of a preeminent public research university. In addition, the school has strong partnerships with the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, whose programs are consistently ranked among the best in the nation; and the University of Wisconsin Medical Foundation, one of the 10 largest physician practice groups in the country. These relationships afford students, teachers and researchers opportunities available only at top ranked academic medical centers.
We moved most of our administrative and teaching facilities to the new Health Sciences Learning Center in the fall of 2004, and are in the midst of an ambitious project to build new research facilities on the UW-Madison campus, ensuring that our tradition of innovative medical education and research continues.
