Join A Highly Respected Academic Health System

MU Health Care is one of the most comprehensive health care networks in Missouri.  Our numerous hospitals and clinics, all staffed by University Physicians, offer the finest primary, secondary, and tertiary health care services.  We also provide education for our future health care providers and participate in important research.  Our extensive network of facilities comprises the MU School of Medicine, MU Sinclair School of Nursing, MU School of Health Professions, University Hospital, MU Women's and Children’s Hospital, Missouri Orthopaedic Institute, Missouri Psychiatric Center, Ellis Fischel Cancer Center, Missouri Rehabilitation Center, and University Physicians & Clinics.

Columbia, home to the University of Missouri, is centrally located between Kansas City and St. Louis and within easy reach of the recreational Lake of the Ozarks and the rivers of the Ozark foothills.  The college community of just over 100,000 offers an unusual combination of rural and metropolitan experiences.

Home to eight hospitals and more than 700 practicing physicians, health care is the dominant industry in Columbia with one in five employed residents working in a health-related profession.  Columbia also has one of the highest rates of physicians per capita in the nation. Higher education and the insurance industry are also major employers in the area.

Columbia was listed in the book, 50 Fabulous Places to Raise Your Family and has been consistently recognized by national magazines such as Consumer's Digest and Money as one of the top places to live in the U.S.  With a remarkably low cost of living; a stable, service-oriented economy; low crime rate; and the availability of affordable housing and outstanding health care, Columbia allows for a lifestyle hard to find in other areas.

The University of Missouri is fully committed to achieving the goal of a diverse and inclusive academic community of faculty, staff, and students. We seek individuals who are committed to this goal and our core campus values of respect, responsibility, discovery, and excellence.
