Our History

Medical discovery and innovation across three centuries.

Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine was founded in Chicago over 150 years ago. In that time, we've contributed greatly to medical discovery and education, as well as to the growth and change of Chicago, the city we are proud to call home.
