Residencies and fellowships
The GME consortium sponsors over 100 training programs at the medical school and our hospital partners accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
Video: Nationally ranked hospitals, internationally recognized faculty, significant NIH funding and a diverse patient population are among the reasons WashU Medicine is a top choice for clinical training.
Comprehensive facilities and a world-renowned faculty provide students with a supportive environment to acquire a scientific foundation and develop the skills, attitudes, knowledge and commitments necessary to perform clinical and research activities at the highest level.
“The people at WashU Medicine are some of the smartest and most accomplished people I have ever met, yet everyone is so down-to-earth and supportive. If I were to choose again, I wouldn’t choose any other school.”
