Patient care
Erasmus MC works on top clinical care for patients with complex care needs, rare diseases, or acute needs for care and treatment.
Education
Erasmus MC works on distinctive, high-quality education that appeals to ambitious, inquisitive, and talented students and addresses the health-care issues of tomorrow.
Research
Erasmus MC also works on cutting-edge, world-class international medical research that helps to understand, predict, treat, and prevent diseases and health conditions.
Valorization
Like at every university medical centre, the three core tasks at Erasmus MC are patient care, education, and research. Valorization, which is the social or economic use of knowledge gained through research, is generally regarded as a fourth core task.
Mission statement
Erasmus MC is committed to achieving a healthy population and pursuing excellence in health care through research and teaching.
Vision
Erasmus MC is recognized as a leading innovator in health care.
Erasmus MC has been setting out a five-year strategic plan, named Course, since 2003. Each edition of Course clearly sets out our ambitions in terms of providing patient care, teaching, training, and conducting research. In each of these core tasks, we focus on the social impact and valorization of our ideas. In doing so, we take account of developments in our own organization as well as developments in the world around us.
Our three core values: (1) Responsible, (2) Connecting, (3) Enterprising
