Mission Statement
Creating the future of medicine® through:
Patient Care and Service Excellence
Educational Pre-eminence
New Knowledge and Innovation
National and International Leadership
Vision Statement
Penn Medicine is committed to remain
a world-leading institution in three equally valued and inter-related
missions of patient care, education, and research. The success
of these missions requires the integration of the School
of Medicine and Health Services and a shared destiny with
the University of Pennsylvania. By recruiting and retaining
a world-class faculty and staff who strive for excellence,
innovation, quality, and professionalism, we will accomplish
our missions. Our goal is to be recognized nationally as
the most accomplished and respected School of Medicine and
Health System.
Patient care
A team of interdisciplinary professionals will provide excellent care and service
to their patients and communities in a compassionate and respectful environment.
The Clinical Practices of The University of Pennsylvania (CPUP) will remain
the core of the Health System. This core maintains excellent programs in
major disciplines and strives to be the market leader in select services.
The core will be supported by a health services network that includes owned
or affiliated hospitals and ambulatory practices. The health services network
will be selectively integrated with the core to support signature services
and patient satisfaction.
Education
Our education programs develop the next generations of leaders in medicine
and biomedical research. To attract the most qualified students and trainees,
The School of Medicine and CPUP will engage the most outstanding educators
and researchers in teaching and training; develop and implement innovative
methods of instruction; provide state-of-the-art facilities and foster educational
relationships with the University and Penn Medicine network. We will recruit, retain
and reward outstanding educators by providing an environment that promotes
creativity and rewards teaching excellence. The School of Medicine, its faculty,
and its alumni will be known for a shared commitment to lifelong learning.
Research
Penn Medicine will enhance its status as a world leader in advancing medical science
by continually improving the quality and impact of its research. The areas
Penn Medicine will emphasize are the fundamental mechanisms of biology and human disease;
the translation of discoveries into new approaches for the diagnosis, treatment,
and prevention of disease; and the evaluation of medicine's impact on the
health of the public. The research enterprise will be supported by peer-reviewed
external funding and innovative non-traditional funding sources. Attracting
and retaining outstanding basic and physician scientists will be a key strategy
for success. To help faculty develop pre-eminence in their fields, Penn Medicine will
provide excellent facilities, outstanding trainees, an effective research
administration, and collegial interactions across the School of Medicine
and the University.
