We are Erasmus MC. Our roots lie in Rotterdam, a city and port of international standing. We are the most innovative university medical center in the Netherlands and one of the world’s leading centers of scientific research. We are committed to achieving a healthy population and pursuing excellence in healthcare through research and teaching. Day in, day out, our staff, volunteers and students work with passion and dedication to achieve everything we stand for: safe, first-rate healthcare for patients with complex issues, unusual and rare conditions or acute needs. But we also stand for top-quality teaching that attracts ambitious, inquisitive and talented students and seeks to answer the healthcare questions of tomorrow. And we stand for world-class scientific research that bolsters our understanding of diseases and disorders and helps to predict, treat and prevent them. We do our work based on our basic principles, the core values of Erasmus MC, 'responsible', 'connecting' and 'enterprising'. We believe that we provide the best care, research and education if we are responsible, binding and enterprising.
