The George Washington University Medical Center is internationally known
for its outstanding medical education, research, and clinical care. In
emergency medicine, the neurosciences, cancer, cardiology and numerous
other areas, the Medical Center has proven itself a leader.
Perhaps Dr. Sewall, addressing the opening session of the medical department
in 1825, said it best: "Who knows but [that] it may be reserved to
this school to make some discovery in medicine which shall commence a
new era in the science or furnish the world with a remedy for some fatal
disease which now eludes the powers of medicine?" The Medical Center
of The George Washington University has already made good on that prediction
several times over, and the promise for the future is bright.
