In partnership with the Biological Sciences Division (BSD), Clinical Department leadership, UChicago Medicine Health System, and our strategic and community partners, the UCFP utilizes its expertise, dedication to health equity, and innovative approach to set and uphold standards for compassionate, high-quality, patient-centered care. Our core objectives include:

- Aligning Department and institutional clinical practice objectives to support the academic contributions, clinical productivity, and financial performance of our providers and members.
- Strengthening UCFP’s presence in the community by developing innovative, diverse, and inclusive practice units that meet the needs of patients and physicians.
- Elevating the reputation of the UCM Health System and BSD as premier regional, national, and international resources for high-quality, innovative, and patient-centered care.
The Faculty Practice Board
The Practice is governed by a Board, which is advisory to the BSD Dean and EVP for Medical Affairs. The permanent membership of the UCFP Board includes the Dean for Clinical Affairs (who serves as the board chair), the Chief Administrative Officer, the EVP for Medical Affairs, the BSD Vice Dean of Academic Administration and Finance, and the Chairs of the Clinical Departments. The permanent members serve on the Board without term limits so long as they occupy their respective roles. Six at-large Board members are faculty who have been voted on by their peers to serve two-year terms.
