Our Mission Statement

Our mission is to train caring and compassionate Med/Peds physicians with an emphasis on teaching, research, and community service, who are well equipped to pursue a broad range of career paths.

The University of Missouri Med/Peds residency program has two primary goals: To provide the highest quality, evidence-based patient care and to educate resident physicians to do the same.  Fostering research interests among our residents is rapidly increasing in importance as well.  The Med/Peds program at University of Missouri Hospital and Clinics (UMHC) strives to provide an outstanding residency experience through the dedication of our faculty to outstanding clinical teaching and the personal and supportive nature of the residents and attending physicians.  As demonstrated by the varied careers of our alumni, the training available at UMHC prepares graduates for a number of diverse professional pathways including primary care, hospitalist medicine, emergency medicine, and subspecialty training.  Med/Peds residents are also encouraged to seek out leadership positions during their residency so they will be prepared to become influential members of the community.
