Georgetown University Medical Center

Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) is the medical campus at Georgetown University. It is also a $225 million biomedical research and educational organization. The Medical Center contains over 80% of Georgetown University's sponsored research funding and is led by Howard J. Federoff, MD, PhD, the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President for Health Sciences and Executive Dean of the School of Medicine

It is co-located with Georgetown University Hospital on the university's main campus in Washington, DC. GUMC encompasses four sectors of medical education and research: Georgetown University School of Medicine, the School of Nursing and Health Studies, Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the Biomedical Graduate Research Organization.

Founded in 1851, the School of Medicine (“SoM”) is committed to educating medical students in the spirit of the Jesuit ideal of cura personalis, or "care of the whole person." Ranked among the top 50 medical schools in the country, in 2008 the SoM was ranked 40th by U.S. World and News Report. The SoM is led by Dean for Medical Education, Stephen Ray Mitchell, MD.

The School of Nursing and Health Studies is one of the four undergraduate schools at Georgetown University, and consists of four academic departments: Health Systems Administration, Human Science, International Health, and Nursing. The School of Nursing and Health Studies also has 233 students in its nine graduate programs, including the Nurse Anesthesia program, ranked sixth in the nation. Bette Jacobs, PhD, RN, is the Dean of the School of Nursing and Health Studies.

Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center is the only comprehensive cancer center accredited by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in the Washington, DC region, and one of only 41 nationwide. Named for Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins coach Vince Lombardi, who was treated at Georgetown, Lombardi was established in 1970 as the cancer clinic at Georgetown University Hospital. Today, Lombardi has over 200 faculty and receives $100 million in research funding each year. The director of the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center is Dr. Louis M. Weiner, MD, and notable faculty include Dr. Richard Schlegel, one of the innovators behind the HPV vaccine and Conditionally Reprogrammed Cells (CRC) technology.
