Our Mission
We seek to advance the power of medicine by providing a
stimulating, supportive climate where faculty, scientists, trainees
and support staff strive for excellence and collaborate freely to
achieve shared goals. In order to accomplish this, we focus on five
major principles:
Save the patient.
Ultimately, we all work in medicine, whether through patient care,
education, or research to help save our patients. It is, at once,
both our calling and our greatest challenge.
Do the right thing.
In caring for our patients and in pursuing research and teaching,
we must act in a way that conveys our spirit of cooperation and our
dedication to reason. We must do the right thing to serve as an
example to our colleagues around us and especially to our patients
and to our learners.
Be the bridge.
Separating ourselves from our colleagues who have dedicated
themselves to patient care only, in an academic medical center we
must constantly be striving to seek answers to questions that are
yet unanswered. Our curiosity helps define this difference and it
is our quest to respond to this curiosity that makes academic
medicine our career.
Ask questions, seek answers.
In our department, we emphasize that we are here to build bridges
and not silos. Our spirit of collegiality and collaboration as
opposed to confrontation is critical to our success. By building
bridges to the various research sciences and institutes in our
university and in our community, we make ourselves stronger.
Those who laugh, last.
Finally, as is emphasized to the residents and our other learners
almost every day, you have to love what you do and you have to do
what you love. If you do those things, then it makes your job more
than a job. Our department works hard, and we are proud of our
people and our accomplishments. And while we work hard, we also
have fun. It is this spirit that helps build a positive environment
in which we define success not only in what we accomplish
individually but how far we go as a team.
