We are Penn Medicine, a world-renowned academic medical center based in Philadelphia, dedicated to the related missions of medical education, biomedical research, and excellence in patient care. Our organization consists of the University of Pennsylvania Health System and the Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine, which was founded in 1765 as the nation's first medical school. We are proud of our heritage, which also includes Pennsylvania Hospital, the nation's first hospital, founded in 1751. Today, we are an $11.9 billion enterprise powered by nearly 49,000 talented faculty and staff who are committed to improving the health and well-being of the communities we serve.

Our team is driven by a passion for innovation and discovery. We have pioneered medical frontiers with a staff comprised of innovators who have dedicated their lives to advancing medicine. From the development of CAR T cell therapy for cancer to the Nobel Prize-winning mRNA technology used in COVID-19 vaccines, we are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible. We believe that the best care for our patients starts with the best care for our employees, and we strive to create a culture of belonging where everyone feels welcome and valued. We are committed to training the next generation of leaders in medicine and providing compassionate, world-class care to patients from all walks of life.
