Our clinical services benefit greatly from being part of an academic medical center and university. Most hospitals primarily focus on patient care. An academic medical center like URMC does this and more. At an academic medical center, education, research, and clinical care integrate to provide the best possible, latest clinical care that uses cutting-edge discovery, technologies, and therapies. Clinicians, researchers, and teachers work together to provide patients with the latest medical advancements and clinical trials that aren’t available at community hospitals. As an academic medical center, URMC is able to provide cutting-edge care from every field of medicine to residents in the Finger Lakes region and beyond.
