Company History
Washington University has one of the richest traditions of any medical school in the nation. In the early 1900s, it led the way in shaping the modern system of instruction at American medical schools, and it has been a pioneer in patient care, research and education ever since.
The school’s long tradition of successful interactions between scientists and clinicians brings the latest knowledge to the bedside, influences the direction of basic research and drives the search for applications of new discoveries. The people at few, if any, other institutions are as successful at working together.
The medical school consistently ranks among the nation’s best and is known nationally and internationally for the quality of its students, faculty, staff and alumni. Seventeen Nobel laureates have been affiliated with the school; 18 current faculty members belong to the National Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Medicine.
By all objective criteria, the student body is exceptional. Washington University is among the most selective medical schools in the country. School of Medicine faculty on staff at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and St. Louis Children’s Hospital supervise the graduate medical education of nearly 1,100 house staff, fellows and trainees at the Medical Center.
