Provost Message

It is a pleasure to welcome students to this unique institution, which introduces you to a distinctive mission. SIMS-SIUT values access to health care and education as a fundamental human right -- this is the bedrock of our belief, policy and practice. We teach compassion along with new cutting-edge technologies, and promote innovation and research.

Good physicians treat the disease but great physicians treat the patient.

We promote care for individuals in need, and are committed to excellence in all areas of learning and scholarship. The purpose of education is not to learn to earn a living but to ensure the health of communities. We work hand in hand with our communities, ensuring equal access both to education and health care for all in our nation, and indeed the region and the world.
