About the School
The School of Medicine has a rich, 115-year history of success in research, education and patient care. It pioneered bedside teaching and led in the transformation of empirical knowledge into scientific medicine. From the earliest days, there has been an understanding that ?investigation and practice are one in spirit, method and object.
Curriculum
Washington University School of Medicine recognizes that each student learns differently. For that reason, our curriculum incorporates many teaching approaches, including traditional lectures and laboratory, small-group interaction, self-directed learning, and of course, broad clinical training at the bedside. Faculty guide students in finding the learning styles that work best for them as individuals. Together, students and faculty continually refine the curriculum to ensure that it remains modern and effective. Pass-fail grading in the first year levels the playing field for students from diverse backgrounds and majors. Issues of medical humanities and ethics are integrated throughout the four years of study.
Facilities
There are numerous clinical sites available to our students. Within the immediate medical center Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Children`s Hospital have a total capacity of about 1,620 beds. Both of these hospitals are heavily involved in care of the medically indigent in the St. Louis community. A new major ambulatory care center has been constructed and provides outpatient care for more than 100,000 people annually. Students also rotate through hospitals in the community including Christian Hospitals Northeast and Northwest, Metropolitan St. Louis Psychiatric Center, Missouri Baptist Medical Center, Veterans Administration Medical Center and Shriners Hospital for Children. There are also numerous smaller hospitals that are part of the BJC Healthcare System that stretches from central Illinois through St. Louis and into southwest Missouri. These sites are being incorporated into the elective rotation sites. Other clinical settings include rural Missouri and Iowa with primary care preceptors. A large percentage of our students do rotations at other institutions both inside and outside the United States.

Why no Tier Rankings?
Although we could tier rank, over the past 25 years we've found no compelling benefit for ranking schools. Students are most successful when they prioritize personal and academic fit over school rank.
