Academic Departments

Three decades ago, UMass Chan held commencement ceremonies for its first class. Since then, more than 2,900 students have graduated to become health care professionals in virtually all fields of medicine and research. As an institution dedicated to the highest academic and ethical standards, we expect our students to be effectively prepared for the world of health care, which is changing at an unprecedented rate. To help students hone those skills required in the complex health care environment of the 21st century, UMass Chan has assembled a superior, dedicated faculty, supported by a strong foundation of academic departments that are continually evolving to meet the needs of our medical students, so they may realize their full potential as practitioners and researchers.
