About the Medical Center
As a top academic health and science center in the United States, Georgetown University Medical Center seeks to provide, in a synergistic fashion,
excellence in education
— training physicians, nurses and other health care professionals, as well as biomedical scientists — and cutting-edge
interdisciplinary research collaboration
, enhancing our
basic science and translational biomedical research
capacity in order to improve human health.
Emphasizing service to others, we are dedicated to the Catholic, Jesuit principle of
cura personalis
— “care of the whole person.” Our academic health system
partnership
with MedStar Health strengthens our work and expands its reach.
