“Cura Personalis – Care of the whole person.”
In the Department of Medicine at Georgetown, cura personalis is more than a tradition, it is the foundation of our work. It shapes our approach to medical education, fuels discovery, and guides the care we provide. Scholarship is embedded throughout training, preparing physicians who combine clinical excellence with a profound commitment to the whole person.
See our Department Conference Calendar.
The Department of Medicine’s strategic plan focuses our resources and developmental efforts on three missions: teaching, clinical service and biomedical research. As with most successful academic departments of medicine, the strength of the department arises from its outstanding faculty of physicians and scientists.
