Patient Care A full spectrum of Inpatient and Outpatient,
Primary and Specialty Care takes place at Boston Medical Center's large, modern, dynamic
urban medical center. Care is provided by our physician organization, Boston University
Medical Group.
Primary Care is offered on our own campus and at several other locations, including our
satellite practice at 930 Commonwealth Avenue. We are pioneers in the idea of customizing
Primary Care to the needs of a particular group. For example, our Women's Health program was
one of the first Primary Care practices in the U.S. dedicated exclusively to women's unique
health issues, and our Geriatric service offers physician house calls to the homes of older
adults. Primary Care is complemented by an array of excellent care in every Medical
Specialty.
Outreach to the Community Unique combinations of
Patient Care, Teaching and Research Programs reflect our commitment to meeting the
ever-changing needs of our urban and suburban populations, while respecting ethnic,
religious and cultural differences.
Teaching
Our bond with Boston University School of Medicine and other institutions helps us to
create a rich learning environment for all. We share knowledge with the medical students
rotating through our hospitals and outpatient areas, residents and fellows completing their
training, patients and members of our community.
Research Research programs are generously
supported by more than $70 million a year in grants from outside agencies, primarily the
National Institutes of Health (NIH). We rank in the top 10-15 percent nationally of
Departments of Medicine receiving NIH funds. |
