The mission of the Case Western Reserve University
School of Medicine is to advance the health of humankind through four interrelated
components:
1) Education: To provide the highest-quality
humanistic and scientific education for
students pursuing the doctor of medicine
degree, advanced degrees in the biomedical
sciences, and graduate and continuing
medical education.
2) Research: To lead in the development of
new knowledge in the biomedical sciences,
the clinical disciplines, and areas of inquiry
that examine the organization and provision
of health care services.
3) Clinical care: To deliver excellent clinical
care through faculty members and bring
leading-edge treatments from the laboratory
to practice.
4) Public service: To contribute to the public
good -- locally, nationally and globally -- in
activities related to health and health care.
Since its founding in 1843, the Case Western
Reserve University School of Medicine has
been an innovator in medical education and a
leader in pioneering research.
The Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing has a proud heritage beginning with the
Lakeside Hospital Training School for Nurses established in 1898. With a generous endowment
from Frances Payne Bolton, who was the first congresswoman from Ohio, the School of
Nursing was established in 1923 as a school within Western Reserve University. In 1969,
Western Reserve University and Case Institute of Technology merged forming the current
university, Case Western Reserve University. Consistently, the Bolton School is ranked
among the leading schools in U.S. News and World Report and in funding from the National
Institutes of Health.
