Campus Construction Update

Starting September 14, we’re closing the Menino building lobby entrance. This, along with the ongoing Yawkey building entrance closure, will help us bring you an even better campus experience that matches the exceptional care you've come to expect. Please enter the Menino and Yawkey buildings through the Moakley building, and make sure to leave extra time to get to your appointment. Thank you for your patience. 

Click here to learn more about our campus redesign. 

Our department is very academically productive for its size. The faculty have a broad range of interests. We leverage relationships with the Departments of Emergency Medicine, Pediatrics, and the BU School of Public Health to execute on a range of research, quality improvement, and education initiatives.
