Medical Education

“Each Medical Student brings unique skills and diverse experiences to the medical school. United in the desire to become physicians, students are quickly exposed to issues of basic science, clinical medicine and the responsibilities of the profession of medicine.”
David R. Lambert, M.D. Medical Student Education |
This is a new era in which innovative approaches to medical education are required to prepare physicians who can integrate the healing power of the doctor-patient relationship with rapidly expanding developments in scientific knowledge, technology, clinical practice, and health care delivery systems. No medical school is more poised than Rochester to take this leadership role.
