The selection of a residency program will be one of the most critical decisions you make during your medical training. I am delighted that you are considering spending this important time here at St. Louis Children’s Hospital and the Department of Pediatrics at Washington University School of Medicine.

St. Louis Children’s Hospital has been the cradle and crucible for hundreds of general pediatricians, pediatric specialists, clinician-investigators, division directors, chairs and deans for more than a century. As part of one of the major medical centers in the United States, St. Louis Children’s Hospital and Washington University offer a unique opportunity for physicians to obtain comprehensive pediatrics training in a world-class setting.

The combination of a bustling, modern regional pediatric hospital and a vigorous, well-respected medical school offers the best qualities of two worlds. Within our hospital environment, focused specifically on the special needs of children, is a genuine feeling of community and purpose. Just beyond our hospital doors is a vast resource for those who may choose advanced study in almost any area of biomedical science.

House staff positions are available at PL-1, PL-2 and PL-3 levels. Fellowships are offered in all pediatric subspecialties. The pediatric service also staffs the nurseries at adjacent Barnes-Jewish Hospital, where nearly 4,000 deliveries are performed each year.

Our house staff has served as the doctors of children of St. Louis and the region since the early part of this century. The current group maintains and expands that tradition. We care for children — and one another — and grow as both willing teachers and pupils. There are no better people with whom you could choose to work and learn.
