SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITYSCHOOL OF MEDICINEis proud to be part of the 450-year tradition of Jesuit education. Established in 1836, the School has the distinction of awarding the first M.D. degree west

of the Mississippi River. Beyond the important objective of training competent physicians who are scholars of human biology, the School strives to graduate physicians who manifest in their personal and professional lives an appreciation for ethical and professional attitudes that reflect the Jesuit spirit and values, and effect the physician’s interactions with patients and colleagues, and with society.

Working within an academic milieu committed to excellence, the faculty of the School of Medicine is engaged in medical research in both basic and clinical sciences. The School is a pioneer in organ transplantation, chronic disease prevention, cardiovascular disease, neurosciences and vaccine research, among others.

The School of Medicine trains physicians and biomedical scientists, conducts medical research, and provides health services on a local, national and international level.
