Our Mission
To continue the healing and teaching ministry of Jesus Christ, “To Make Man Whole.”*
Preparing the Physician
Our purpose is the formation of Christian physicians, providing whole-person care to individuals, families and communities. Fulfilling this responsibility requires:
- Education
Creating an environment in which medical students, graduate students and residents will acquire the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes appropriate to Christian health professionals and scholars. - Research
Cultivating an atmosphere of inquiry and discovering new routes to wholeness through basic and clinical research. - Service
Providing timely access to cost-effective, comprehensive whole-person care for all patients without regard for their circumstances or status.
Developing the Whole Person
The Christian view of wholeness holds that the needs of patients go beyond the healing of the body and that the development of students involves more than the training of the mind. We are dedicated to promoting physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual growth in our faculty and students, and to transforming our daily activities into personal ministries.
Reaching the World
Providing whole-person care wherever the opportunity arises; participating with the world community in the provision of local medical education; providing international physicians and scientists the opportunity for professional interaction and enrichment; sharing the good news of a loving God as demonstrated by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. These are the goals of the students, faculty and graduates of the LLU School of Medicine. *Luke 9:6
