Region: New York Country: USA

The University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), located in Rochester, New York, is one of the main campuses of the University of Rochester and comprises the university's primary medical education, research and patient care facilities.

Schools and facilities
URMC is one of the largest facilities for medical treatment and research in Upstate New York and includes a regional Perinatal Center, Trauma Center, Burn Center and the James P. Wilmot Cancer Center, an Epilepsy Center, Liver Transplant Center and Cardiac Transplant Center and also includes a major AIDS Treatment Center and an NIH-designated AIDS Vaccine Evaluation Unit. A large portion of the university's biomedical research is conducted in the Arthur Kornberg Medical Research Building and the Aab Institute of Biomedical Sciences.

URMC occupies a 4,000,000-square-foot (370,000 m2) complex located between Elmwood Avenue, Mount Hope Avenue, Genesee Valley Park, and Lattimore Road.

In January 2008 the University of Rochester announced a $500 million strategic plan geared toward expansion in research and patient services. The plan will potentially add 800 new jobs to the university. Part of the expansion will include building a new 6-story, 123-bed addition to the hospital, a building for clinical and translational sciences, and a new ambulatory surgery center to be built on Westfall Road.

Strong Memorial Hospital
Strong Memorial Hospital is the main teaching hospital and patient care facility at the University of Rochester and is housed within the main complex of the URMC. It is a Level I trauma center serving the Rochester community and is the most prominent member of the Strong Health System. Strong also includes the Golisano Children's Hospital at Strong, named after philanthropist Tom Golisano.

School of Medicine and Dentistry
The School of Medicine and Dentistry (SMD) is an accredited medical school and school for advanced dental education[1], with graduate education programs in biomedical, biological and health sciences. The facilities of the school are located in its own wing of the main URMC complex and the adjoining Arthur Kornberg Medical Research Building with a total of more than 420,000 square feet (39,000 m2) of research space. Dental education and patient facilities are located within the URMC complex and the adjacent Eastman Institute for Oral Health.

SMD is ranked 29th for research and 15th in the primary care schools category by U.S. News & World Report, with the dental programs ranked in the top 10. SMD also received a full six-year accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education for its 26 residency programs at Strong Memorial Hospital in 2005.The medical school opened in 1925, and its first class graduated in 1929.

School of Nursing
The School of Nursing is an accredited nursing education program located in the Helen Wood Hall building of URMC. The school's Pediatric Nurse Practitioner program was ranked the seventh best in the U.S., with the Adult Nurse Practitioner program ranked 13th and the Family Nurse Practitioner program ranked 21st by U.S. News.

Recent developments
Recently, several new programs and centers have been founded at URMC. A cancer stem cell research program has been established at the Wilmot Cancer Center, one of only three such programs in the United States, the others being at Harvard University and Stanford University.[7] Also, a new Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute has been announced, which will be housed in a new 150,000-square-foot (14,000 m2) research and education facility. The program was awarded a $40 million NIH grant, the largest in the history of the university.

Funding and budget
URMC comprises the largest portion of the University of Rochester's annual budget. For the 2004-2005 fiscal year, URMC's patient care and hospital resources accounted for 59% of the total university budget at $910 million.[9] URMC also makes up a large portion of the university's $232 million research budget.

Excellence in Education
In undergraduate medical education, the concept of integrating cutting-edge, evidenced-based medical science and the relationship-centered art of clinical medical practice is embodied in our "Double Helix Curriculum," which interweaves basic science and clinical work throughout all four years of medical school.

This blend of the art and science of medicine also distinguishes our post-graduate medical education, where residents and fellows receive intensive, specialized training in virtually all medical and dental specialties and subspecialties.

Graduate Education offers more than 25 master's and Ph.D. degree programs that span the biomedical and health sciences. The School offers world-class faculty and research facilities as well as innumerable opportunities for students to collaborate across disciplines to produce innovative science and technology that improves health.

Postdoctoral appointments are available in a wide variety of research laboratories. This training is an important step toward a career in academia, industry or government, and the postdoctoral scholars make important contributions to the research mission of the Medical Center. The Office of Graduate Education and Postdoctoral Affairs oversees the policies for postdoctoral appointees at the University of Rochester Medical Center. All of these programs are part of the School of Medicine and Dentistry.

Match Day
The drama of Match Day moved to Whipple Auditorium this year, where both tension and spirits were high.

Judging by the smiles and yells at 12:01 p.m. Friday, March 16, the Class of 2012 was happy with the match results, said David R. Lambert, the School's senior associate dean for medical student education.

One hundred and four members of the Class of 2012 matched. In that group, 25 will complete training at the University of Rochester Medical Center and 39 will complete training in New York State. Rochester students matched to programs in 23 of the states and District of Columbia. The top specialty choices in the class were: Internal medicine (22), Pediatrics (13), Anesthesia (9), Obstetrics and Gynecology (8) and General surgery (7) and Emergency medicine (7).

More than 95 percent of U.S. medical school seniors"the highest rate in 30 years matched to residency positions according to new data released today by the National Resident Matching Program. Of the applicants from U.S. school who matched, 81.6 percent matched to one of their top three choices. More than 56 percent of U.S. students matched to their first choice. Another 15.6 percent matched to their second choice and 9.5 percent their third.
