Scholarship & Discovery
University of Chicago Motto: Cresat scientia; vita excolatur: "Let knowledge grow from more to more; and so be human life enriched"
The Scholarship and Discovery component of the Pritzker curriculum reaffirms the core mission of the University to generate new knowledge to improve human life. The University of Chicago has a rich legacy of discovery and is home to more Nobel Laureates than any other institution. Key scientific discoveries at the University of Chicago have revolutionized the treatment of human disease. In keeping with this great tradition, students at the Pritzker School of Medicine receive the necessary skills and training to complete a mentored scholarly project by the time of graduation, focusing on one of five scholarly tracks: Scientific Investigation, Medical Education Scholarship, Quality and Safety Scholarship, Community Health Scholarship, and Global Health Scholarship.
The Scholarship & Discovery curriculum provides enhanced training in fundamental concepts and skills to ensure student's success in one of these five tracks. Guidance is provided by faculty mentors during the first-year Scholarship & Discovery Course 1A, B, C. Below is a full outline of the Scholarship & Discovery curriculum.
Scholarship and Discovery resources are available through the Scholarship and Discovery wiki. Current students may schedule Scholarship and Discovery Office hours by submitting the S&D Current Student Inquiry Form.
