The Charles E. Schmidt College of Biomedical Science is committed to creating and sustaining an environment of professionalism, scholarship and intellectual enquiry that enables our faculty and students to achieve their respective goals as health care professionals and biomedical scholars who are recognized by their colleagues for their professional excellence and by the communities in which they live and work for their involvement and commitment to the health and well-being of their fellow citizens. This will be done through innovation and collaboration with colleagues within and beyond Florida Atlantic University.

We are committed to providing a medical education program, in partnership with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and our hospital affiliates, that:

• enables our medical students to become active, self-directed, life-long learners
• equips our graduate to effectively manage the patients that they are most likely to encounter in their practices
• emphasizes the centrality of collaborative relationships in the provision of the highest quality comprehensive health care
• fosters and values collaboration between basic and clinical science, among medical specialties and between academic medicine and community health care professionals
• produces physicians with the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to practice humanistic, patient-centered, evidence-based medicine.

We are committed to providing graduate biomedical science programs that:

• produce scientists at the forefront of basic, applied and translation research
• promote collaborative, inter-disciplinary and innovative approaches to research and inculcate our students with the ability to think creatively
• are responsive to business and industry needs for individuals with scientific training and expertise
