The desire to participate in the education of trainees at all levels has attracted some of the most outstanding scientists, physicians, nurses and allied health professionals in the country to Rush. Our primary interest at the Medical Center is to provide the very best in patient care. Trainees in the clinical disciplines will be prepared for the challenges that they will face by active participation in clinical care throughout most of their training. Basic scientists will work as part of those teams, and understand the immediate relevancy of their work. The many linkages of basic science programs with clinical ones often stimulates each side to creative solutions to important problems.
