Lunar University of Medical Science

The Lunar University of Medical Science has been a center for medical research in the Sol system for centuries. LUMSs first campus was founded by medical physician Dr. H.S. Cooper, who established the first and primary campus in Harmony City. It is one of the first medical universities on Luna, spurned on by a growing need for 'homegrown' medical experts after the constructions of the first biodomes were nearing completion. Internationally, LUMS ranks exceptionally well in the categories of Family Medicine, Neurosciences, Surgery, and is competitive with other peer universities in the disciplines of Anesthesiology, Orthopedics, Pediatrics, and Pharmacology. The current dean is L.Q. Anderson, PhD.

LUMS maintains several other campuses on Luna, along with 15 auxiliary campuses throughout the rest of Sol and the Inner-Colonies.

Admission to the School of Medicine and Health Sciences graduate program is highly competitive. For the MD class entering in 2452, a little more than 1,500 applicants were interviewed out of a total number of 14,700 applicants. Approximately 300 individuals were accepted to fill 177 spots. Curriculum revisions occur each year in response to student and faculty evaluations. Academic task forces continue to look at how best to develop longitudinal themes throughout the curriculum that will better prepare students for the challenges facing modern health care professionals and systems, including providing effective and equitable health care delivery in a variety of colonial environments.
