Faculty
University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health faculty combine the talents of researchers, educators and care givers. More than 1,200 physicians and scientists—most of whom care for patients in addition to teaching—train students in both medical and post-graduate programs.

Faculty members include medical students and residents on rounds as part of the clinical experience.

The faculty includes National Medal of Science recipients, National Academy of Sciences honorees, internationally recognized researchers and clinicians, and physicians dedicated to improving the delivery of primary care medicine.

Their teaching integrates basic knowledge and clinical applications in a curriculum that fosters problem solving and establishes a pattern of life-long learning. Students—as well as patients—profit from the close collaboration between basic scientists and clinical practitioners who work together to bring laboratory advancements to hospital care.

UW School of Medicine and Public Health is a statewide medical school, as well as a resource to the nation and the world. UW researchers have changed our lives and improved our health, from the discovery of vitamin D to pioneering techniques for improving the viability of organs used for transplants.
