First-year students in the Program of Physical Therapy (PT) toured frequently-used classrooms and offices and heard from around the School of Medicine during orientation week. The students also were required to take a medical terminology exam during orientation week, so many of them had a stack of flash cards ready to review during breaks.

Washington University School of Medicine‘s 2,100 employed and volunteer faculty physicians also are the medical staff of Barnes-Jewish and St. Louis Children’s hospitals. The School of Medicine is one of the leading medical research, teaching and patient-care institutions in the nation, currently ranked sixth in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.
