At Georgetown University Medical Center, our commitment to advancing global health reflects our deepest values as a Jesuit institution: accompaniment, justice, and service. These values are the bedrock of our educational programs and research centers, enabling us to develop ethically grounded global health leaders and share our expertise with compassion and humility.
“We promote health and human dignity by empowering global health leaders—working in true partnership with nations and communities to strengthen their health systems.”
— Norman J. Beauchamp Jr., MD, MHS, Executive Vice President for Health Sciences, Executive Dean of the School of Medicine, Georgetown University Medical Center
As a global university located in Washington, D.C., we attract internationally recognized experts in health security, infectious disease, health care reform, and global health policy — reflecting our ability to drive solutions that extend across disciplines and borders.
As society’s health challenges grow increasingly complex, GUMC’s unique identity and emphasis on service and partnership are differentiators. We will improve outcomes sustainably — ensuring communities with the greatest needs have the resources and capacity to thrive. We will advance three strategic goals to realize this vision.
We will educate the next generation of talented global health leaders who improve health outcomes in communities around the world, serving as “people for others” with compassion and cultural humility.
We will advance groundbreaking research across disciplines, positioning our world-renowned scholars to shape policy and practice through the dissemination of new evidence and knowledge.
We will expand collaborative relationships in communities worldwide, empowering leaders across organizations and sectors to catalyze sustainable solutions to pressing health challenges.
