The Pritzker School of Medicine states a mission to encourage diverse, highly promising students toward leadership and innovation in science and medicine, amid interdisciplinary scholarship and discovery. It is a private professional school inside the university's Biological Sciences Division, home to faculty appointments and departments, and it has ties to the university's academic medical system.
The school reports that every student takes part in research. Scholarly concentrations include basic and translational science, clinical research, data science applied to health services, community and global health, improving healthcare delivery, and medical education.
Beyond the MD, the school lists combined degree options with doctoral study, business administration, public policy, public health and data science. Prospective students can view the curriculum, learn how to apply and check the status of an application through the school's website. The university itself has encouraged new ways of thinking since its founding in 1890, and the school sits within that setting of research and inquiry.
