About
History
Since 1893, MCW has been a leader in patient care, research, education and community engagement.
Education
MCW is the place where you will learn everything you need to become a successful physician, and will embrace a quest for knowledge as a lifelong journey. It is also the place where you can choose among three campuses, several Scholarly Pathways and two options for the pace of your medical education. This is medical school your way.
Research
Science is the driver of innovation and knowledge that can change everything—from the way we define, diagnose, treat and prevent disease, to the methods we employ to improve our communities, to the types of training we offer to the next generation of healers, educators and researchers.
Through laboratory research, clinical trials and community-engaged research, we seek answers. We collaborate with local, national and global innovators. We question everything, and we persevere through every stage of discovery in pursuit of life-changing advancements.
Career
MCW Graduate School Career Services offers a diverse array of services to help MCW graduate students and postdoctoral fellows explore and achieve their career goals.
Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are encouraged to begin using the services early in their graduate career, which include individual career counseling, up-to-date and relevant career resources, workshops, and professional development programs.
Services
Student services
We support student success by assisting with a broad array of student needs and concerns. These include:
- the acclimation to increased academic demand
- the integration of knowledge and skills
- the navigation of institutional policies and requirements
- the strategic planning for future career paths
- the exploration of new strategies to excel academically
We aim to provide the most accurate information and the most relevant resources to guide and address student needs throughout their medical school journey.
Housing services
Begin your housing search as soon as possible. Come to Milwaukee and start getting familiar with the city.
August 1 leases will be on the market the first full week of June. Ideally, try to visit the Milwaukee area no later than July so that you can sign a lease to begin August 1. You want to be settled in your apartment by the time Orientation starts. If you need a place to stay while you are conducting your housing search, please consult the Lodging Housing Guide published by the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center.

To serve our patrons, the MCW Libraries has a physical presence in three locations: Medical College of Wisconsin Todd Wehr Library, Froedtert Hospital, and Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. Additionally, our extensive online presence provides access to a large electronic collection of scholarly medical information resources, available anywhere, anytime, on any device.

We provide leadership, technical knowledge, services, and solutions to support the technology needs of MCW faculty, staff, and students.
