About NEOMED
Creating transformational healthcare leaders
The Mission of Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) is to create transformational leaders and improve health. NEOMED is forging the future in innovative health education and research excellence. Our core values of Integrity, Collaboration and Excellence guide NEOMED’s faculty, staff, and students to uphold the highest ethical standards, engage in interdisciplinary teamwork and strong partnerships, and commit themselves to the highest standards of academic and research excellence.
NEOMED is committed to fostering a culture of inclusive excellence that promotes academic and professional success for all faculty, staff, and students. NEOMED’s academic and research environment is grounded in mutual respect, opportunity, fairness, and ensuring that every individual is supported in achieving their highest potential.
NEOMED recognizes that students bring a wide range of experiences, perspectives, and strengths that enrich our academic community and advance the health professions by empowering future healthcare leaders. The University strives to deliver exceptional student experience for all students and to cultivate a culture of transformational excellence driven by innovation. NEOMED values and supports individuals whose backgrounds and life journeys reflect resilience, service, and leadership—qualities that align with our mission to improve health outcomes for all people.
The recruitment and admissions of students and recruitment and retention of faculty and staff requires consideration of each applicant’s full range of experience and achievement in full compliance with applicable state and federal law.
NEOMED seeks top talent who have the potential to be leaders in improving health in a changing world. In recognition of its obligation as a State of Ohio University, NEOMED prioritizes the identification of students that reflect Ohio from rural or medically underserved areas; economically or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds; and military-affiliated students, including service members, veterans, recipients of military scholarships (e.g., HPSP), and those eligible for GI Bill benefits, who can improve health for all Ohioans.
The University and each of its colleges are charged with providing an inclusive academic and research environment where every individual is empowered to succeed. University and College resources are dedicated to fostering an atmosphere of integrity, collaboration, support, professional growth, excellence, and personal well-being for all students, faculty, and staff.
