UMB’s seven professional and graduate schools train the majority of the state's physicians, graduate nurses, dentists, lawyers, social workers, and pharmacists.
Of UMB’s seven professional schools, the School of Medicine is, by far, the largest school on the campus and occupies the majority of the buildings on campus. These caches will take you on a tour of the campus, stopping at some of the more prominent locations within the School of Medicine.
There is plenty of parking on the UMB campus. You can choose to park in one of the campus garages (for a fee) or at any of the various on-street metered parking spots. All of the caches in the Med School Days series are within a reasonable walking distance.
This is a VERY busy campus all hours of the day and evening. Difficulty rating compensates for the high muggle activity
