UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO OVERVIEW
The University of Chicago biomedical enterprise houses three entities:
the Biological Sciences Division (BSD), the University of Chicago
Medicine (UCM), and the Pritzker School of Medicine. Collectively called
UCM, we are one of the nation's leading academic medical institutions
and have been at the forefront of discovery, education, and clinical
care since 1927. Located 20 minutes south of downtown Chicago, our Hyde
Park main campus provides a single environment for learning,
world-renowned basic science and clinical research, and outstanding
clinical care.
The BSD is the largest academic unit within the University. The BSD is
comprised of faculty from ten basic science departments, 13 clinical
departments, and several Centers and Institutes. The approximately 1,300
faculty and 3,000 staff members working in the BSD collaborate across
the organization to achieve our Mission, Vision, and Values (MVV):
MISSION: As part of the University of Chicago, we pursue globally
impactful solutions to seemingly unsolvable challenges. Through our
rigorous research, innovative education, and comprehensive care and
healing, we collaborate on life-changing advancements that create
meaningful results for our community and the world, including a greater,
more equitable future for all.
VISION: Together, we elevate the human experience with knowledge and
health care.
VALUES: Commit to Excellence: We contribute our exceptional talents to
all we do and empower the same spirit of excellence in others.
Embrace Curiosity: We stay open to new ideas, champion diverse
perspectives, and drive a culture of thoughtful risk-taking to deliver
transformative innovation.
Embody Equity: We identify systemic issues and then foster change to
drive a more equitable environment inclusive of diverse people, ideas,
and fields of science.
Grow Together: We meaningfully collaborate with one another to create
something bigger than we could ever achieve alone.
Make a Difference: We lead with heart and compassion in all our
interactions. We create positive change in our areas of influence,
whether expanding scientific inquiry, developing the next generation of
leaders, or healing our community.
Take Ownership: We accomplish what we say we will and hold ourselves and
one another accountable for our actions.
The MVV serves as our True North, charting our strategic plan for the
next ten years and beyond. It is an exciting time to be a part of the
University of Chicago and the BSD. Our team is helping shape the future
for our learners, staff, faculty, patients, and community.
