Welcome to the Office of the Boston University Medical Campus Provost
The Office of the Provost of the Medical Campus is responsible for the operation of the Boston University Medical Campus and the three health-related Schools located on the Medical Campus:
- School of Medicine (includes the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences)
- Goldman School of Dental Medicine
- School of Public Health
More than 3,000 Medical Campus faculty provide educational programs for 3,300 MD, dental, and graduate students, and care for diverse population of patients at Boston Medical Center as well as other surrounding hospitals and clinics. Faculty students and staff competed successfully for more than $260M in funded research in 2006.
Our core mission of training the next generation of physicians, dentists, and scientists. Health sciences education has changed substantially. Although computerization facilitates learning, more information exists to be mastered. Boston University provides today’s health sciences students with distinguished and committed faculty, thoughtful and humanistic mentoring, state-of-the-art learning facilities, and clinical experiences in one of New England’s most respected teaching hospitals and in other locations in the Boston area and internationally. We remain committed to providing the doctors, dentists, scientists and those in public health with an outstanding education in both science and humanism.
The campus has a mission of service to its community as well as a well-established Global Health Initiative. We have the largest trauma center in New England. We have outstanding research programs in cardiology, cancer, neurosciences, infectious diseases and dental medicine. Faculty and students run a medical clinic that serves refugees from war-torn countries.
