What I love about WashU Medicine is that we have a healthy respect for all forms of teaching. Not just in classrooms but also in clinical spaces, hallways, labs, and all of that contributes to the students’ experience. I’ve never been somewhere where I could so freely collaborate with other educators.

The depth of investment poured into our program by the WashU Medicine Office of Education is astonishing. We have the cutting-edge teaching spaces, learning tools / technologies, and faculty training support needed to produce innovative students.
