Mission Statement, Clinical Vision and Core Values

In July, 2002, the Faculty Practice Plan Board of Directors unanimously approved the new Washington University School of Medicine Mission, Clinical Vision and Core Values Statement. This is a substantial revision of the vision statement from 1998 and reflects changes in the clinical environment and the standing of our clinical practice.

This vision statement is intended to provide a clear picture of the future we hope to achieve for Washington University Physicians and the School of Medicine:
