Georgetown takes an integrated approach to educating students in its School of Medicine and School of Nursing and Health Studies. We combine a rigorous education in the core areas of study required in medicine, nursing and health studies, with training in ethics, compassion, health care policy and other areas that challenge our students to think deeply about health care and its role in society. After graduation, our students become exceptional doctors, nurses, biomedical scientists and health professionals.
The university is home to an internationally recognized academic medical center with a three-part mission of research, teaching and patient care, the latter through its clinical partner MedStar Health. The center’s mission is carried out with a strong emphasis on community outreach and a dedication to the Catholic, Jesuit principle of cura personalis, which means "care of the whole person." A community of scholars and healers, Georgetown faculty and students contribute to the care of the sick and the progress of science and medicine for the greater good.
