Both the history and the current mission and operations of the UMKC School of Medicine are deeply rooted in the community at the local, state, national and international levels. As part of a growing academic health sciences campus in the urban core of Kansas City, Missouri, the School advances the health of the community through education of physicians and other health care professionals, through research and application of new knowledge to health conditions that affect our community, through direct service in the community, and through economic development. In the nearly four decades that the School has been in existence, all of the four mission areas-education, research, service, and economic development-have grown and matured along with the Hospital Hill campus where the School is located. The University of Missouri-Kansas City is a public, urban-serving, research and doctoral university; both it and the School of Medicine are poised to make an even greater contribution to "Advancing the Health of Our Community" in the decades to come.
