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.
