Rush University attracts students, faculty, and researchers from around the world, fostering an international learning environment. The institution actively participates in global health programs and research collaborations with international partners, contributing to advancements in medical knowledge and healthcare practices worldwide. Furthermore, Rush's pioneering research, particularly in areas like neurology, orthopedics, and immunology, is disseminated globally, impacting patient care far beyond its immediate geographical reach.
