The mission of Rush University Medical Center is to provide the very best care for our patients, and we believe that is most effectively done in an academic atmosphere. We teach and emphasize evidence-based treatments, and our clinical decisions are based on the best science available. Our research programs are meant to strengthen the ties between laboratory science and the bedside. Our community service programs are aimed at addressing disparities in access to health care. Finally, one of the goals of our educational programs is to teach the science and art of medicine in the context of health care today. School is not easy, but you have the background and skill to handle it. Many students need assistance or support at one time or another in their training. Please don’t hesitate to ask. You should also help and support each other. Learning in a supportive environment is ideal, and I know you will find that to be the case at Rush. All of us at Rush are honored that you have chosen to come here, and we look forward to meeting you, teaching you and working with you to improve the health of everyone. Sincerely, Larry J.
