Duquesne's Medical School will aspire to be among the most forward-thinking medical schools in the nation, addressing the two largest problems facing medicine today:

  • a shortage of doctors in primary care disciplines and
  • a system of pervasive disparities in health care, by racial and socio-economic dimensions, especially in underserved urban and rural communities.

 

Duquesne is positioned to lead in the future of medicine with:

  • World-class education and commitment to excellence that will serve our students and all who they will serve in their future
  • Historic strengths in the health sciences and research
  • Commitment to serving the vulnerable and marginalized
  • Proven track record of effectively addressing health disparities and assisting under-resourced communities
  • Excellence in teaching and service with its students
