The Pritzker School of Medicine remains committed to recruiting talented students who align with our mission, which is to inspire diverse students of exceptional promise to become leaders and innovators in science and medicine for the betterment of humanity. In addition to the holistic recruitment efforts led by our Admissions office, we are committed to advancing health equity, diversity, and inclusion through the myriad of efforts here on the South Side of Chicago.
At the University of Chicago, we consider diversity to be a strength—and, indeed, foundational to our academic success. Advancing rigorous inquiry requires welcoming a diversity of perspectives and ideas, as well as a diversity of life experiences. Bringing together people from the broadest possible range of backgrounds is often the first step toward realizing field-defining scholarship and providing a transformative education for our students by fostering a culture that reveres open discourse and constant questioning.

We look forward to getting to know you through our admissions process!
