The School works locally, nationally, and globally, with research and treatment facilities in 36 countries around the world.  

The School has over 2,500 students, residents, and fellows, and nearly $450 million in extramural funding, with more than half of its academic departments ranked in the top 20 among all public medical schools in the nation in research funding.
