Just the Facts 2017-18

Commemorating its 210th anniversary, the University of

Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) was chartered in

1807 as the first public medical school in the United States.

It continues today as one of the fastest growing, top-tier biomedical research enterprises in the world — with 45

academic departments, centers, institutes, and programs,

and with a faculty of more than 3,000 physicians, scientists,

and allied health professionals.

With an operating budget of more than $1 billion, the

UMSOM works closely in partnership with the University of

Maryland Medical Center and Medical System to provide research-intensive, academic, and clinically-based care for more than 1.2 million patients each year.

The UMSOM has over 2,500 students, residents and fellows, and nearly $450 million in extramural funding, with

more than half of its academic departments ranked in the

top 20 among all public medical schools in the nation in

research funding. The UMSOM faculty, which ranks as the

8th-highest public medical school in research productivity,

is an innovator in translational medicine with 600 active

patents and 24 start-up companies. The School works

locally, nationally, and globally, with research and treatment

facilities in 36 countries around the world.

KEY RESEARCH ADVANCES in the PAST DECADE INCLUDE:

Our Philanthropy In FY17, our philanthropy dollars are typically a

combination of private, individual gifts, and foundation

grants. We generated more than $52 million in total fundraising. This year’s total was particularly significant

in that more than half ofthe amount raised ($28.5 million)

Our Philanthropy & Revenues Our total budget is nearly $924 million, but we have an economic impact of nearly $2 billion in thestate of Maryland alone. That means for every dollar the state spends on us, they get back almost double that. Still, only 4.5 percent of ourbudget comes from the state. Tuition and feesonly pay 2.9 percent of the budget, as for the rest,43.3 percent comes from competitively securinggrants; 47.3 percent comes from our clinical carerevenue, and the rest comes from philanthropy. InFY14, we had a four percent increase in philan-thropy, with $14.7 million in generous donations.

Our Research The University of MarylandSchool of Medicine is one of the fastest-growingmedical research enterprises in the nation. Facultymembers have been working diligently in pursuit ofanswers to “Big Science” questions that requirebroad collaboration across disciplines. Our scientists and clinicians received $400.2 million inGrants & Contracts in FY 14, an eight percent increase. This in spite of the competitiveness of science these days, when the lingering effects ofsequestration and a stagnant NIH budget meanthere is less money available for research funding.

Looking at the productivity of our faculty, AAMCdata shows that among all medical schools, themean funding per investigator is about $304,000.At the University of Maryland School of Medicine,the mean funding per investigator is almost$500,000, making us the 15th most productivemedical school in America.

Our Joint PartnershipUniversity of Maryland Medicine, which describes our

joint partnership with the University of Maryland Medical

System, is based on a shared vision to be global leaders in healthcare, medical education, and biomedical research. Few other partnerships are as integrated across an entire

hospital system as the one shared by UMSOM and UMMS.

The strength of this unique partnership comes from aligning

what each does best.

UMMS is able to offer fiscal stability and the purchasing

power of its 16 hospital facilities, while the UMSOM offers

the intellectual capital of over 3,000 faculty physicians and

researchers, all committed to the continuous refinement

of the quality of care they provide. This creates a strong

foundation for continued growth — that will enable us to provide even more patients with access to what we develop and discover.

With over 32,000 employees, University of Maryland

Medicine has a combined budget of over $5 billion and a

total economic impact of nearly $16 billion on the state

and local community.

Our Joint Partnership

Our RankingsResearch funding is a standard, objective way to measure

program excellence, because it is secured through a

competitive process. It also is a direct reflection of the

strength of our research enterprise. Our mean funding per

principal investigator is $410,000, placing us in the 85th

percentile of productivity of all medical schools.
