Unique Features of Our School
Location
The whole University is incredibly well integrated - you walk out the door of the medical school and you are on the quadrangle with the undergraduates, the graduate students, and the professional students. And you go to workshops and seminars and it's natural that the person sitting next to you is from a different discipline or a different school. And you learn from each other. This campus makes that easy.

The Pritzker School of Medicine is one of few medical schools to be located physically on its University campus, offering both intellectual and social advantages to students who spend their medical school years at the center of the University. Most importantly the opportunity for interdisciplinary work is outstanding – the law school, the business school, the school of public policy, the humanities division are located within steps of the hospital, providing a rich array of opportunities for our medical students.
