Mission statement

Georgetown University School of Medicine is heir to the Jesuit traditions of care of the sick and commitment to service and social justice. The School embodies the university’s dedication to the pursuit of knowledge in service to others through excellence in clinical care, scientific discovery, and the formation of physician-healers. The Georgetown medical experience is grounded in Cura Personalis, care for the whole person encompassing psychological, spiritual, social, and physical well-being. Within an environment integrating rigorous scientific inquiry and compassionate clinical practice, students develop the intellectual, ethical, and professional foundations required to become clinically excellent physicians, innovative scientists, and advocates for underserved communities. Georgetown’s educational mission is strengthened by a culture of research and scholarship. Dual-degree opportunities, including MD-PhD programs in neuroscience, tumor biology, bioethics, and related biomedical sciences, prepare physician-scientists to advance discovery while improving patient care. Clinical education occurs through Georgetown’s partnership with MedStar Health across diverse, high-acuity training environments including MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and MedStar Washington Hospital Center. Students gain experience in oncology, orthopedics, neuroscience, gastroenterology, trauma surgery, transplantation, and complex multidisciplinary care. The MedStar Georgetown Transplant Institute provides exposure to advanced multi-organ and intestinal transplantation and highly specialized medical and surgical care. This rigorous clinical training fosters analytical thinking, sound clinical judgment, and evidence-based decision-making while emphasizing compassionate, whole-person care grounded in Jesuit values. Graduates emerge prepared to serve individual patients and advocate for communities with unmet healthcare needs. Georgetown University School of Medicine seeks applicants committed to becoming physician-healers, scientists, and advocates. Service to the underserved remains central to the admissions philosophy and reflective of the Jesuit mission. Independent Scholarly Project (ISP) All medical students complete an Independent Scholarly Project (ISP), a mentored scholarly experience in which students investigate original questions across clinical, translational, educational, or basic science disciplines. The ISP strengthens skills in critical analysis, scientific communication, and evidence-based medicine while reinforcing Georgetown’s commitment to discovery in service of patient care. Racial Justice Committee for Change (RJCC) Guided by commitments to racial justice and health equity, Georgetown supports efforts to eliminate racism across the School of Medicine and medical center. The Racial Justice Committee for Change, composed of students, faculty, and staff, advances sustainable initiatives promoting equity and inclusion in medical education and healthcare delivery. Curriculum Georgetown’s holistic curriculum reflects its Catholic and Jesuit heritage and commitment to social justice. Critical thinking, cognitive integration, and lifelong learning guide curricular design. Cura Personalis unites longitudinal instruction in clinical skills, communication, ethics, and professional identity formation. Community Service Students complete a minimum of 20 hours of community service prior to graduation, reflecting Georgetown’s commitment to service and individualized attention to community needs beyond clinical training. Student Life and Support Services Located in Washington, D.C., Georgetown provides a dynamic environment supporting leadership, advocacy, and interdisciplinary collaboration while ensuring access to educational, spiritual, psychological, and medical resources that promote student wellbeing.
