An academic medical center is more than a hospital. It’s hospitals and clinics, medical schools, and research programs working together. It’s nationally recognized doctors who set new standards of excellence. It’s where the next generation of healthcare professionals study.  It's where medical research thrives and breakthroughs are made. University of Mississippi Medical Center provides vital services.
