Welcome to Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science!

As you begin the journey to acquire your professional or graduate degree, remember an essential thing we do at the University is to create and sustain a community of inquiry. In this each of us has a role to play. We learn from our differences, and the quality of the whole depends on the commitment each one of us is willing to make to our collective exploration. We are highly interdependent. The quality of life and professional preparation at Rosalind Franklin University - the depth of the inquiry in which we engage - will depend very much on the attitude each of you brings to each encounter. Our University’s mission is brought to life through four pillars - Education, Clinical Practice, Research and Community Service. We extend our mission beyond the classrooms and the laboratories, to places where we can improve mankind through outstanding clinical programs and community service - to places where you can make a difference. It is with this thought in mind that I welcome you to Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. Your Life in Discovery is our intention and our motivation and it has just begun.
