SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY
School of Medicine Mission Beyond the important objective of training physicians who are scholars of human biology, the School of Medicine strives to graduate physicians who manifest in their personal and professional lives an appreciation of humanistic medicine. We regard humanistic medicine as a constellation of ethical and professional attitudes, which affect the physician's interactions with patients, colleagues, and society. Among these attitudes are concern for the sanctity of human life; commitment to dignity and respect in the provision of medical care to all patients; devotion to social justice, especially regarding inequities in the availability of health care; humility and awareness of medicine's limitations in the care of the sick; appreciation of the role of non-medical factors in a patient's state of well-being or illness; and mature, well-balanced professional behavior that derives from comfortable relationships with members of the human family and one's Creator.

Dual-Degree Programs
BRIDGING DISCIPLINES
•MD/MBA
•MD/MPH
•MD/PhD
MD/MBA The School of Medicine and the John Cook School of Business jointly administer a MD/MBA dual degree, full-time program. Graduates of SLU's dual MD/MBA program earn both a Doctor of Medicine degree and a Master of Business Administration. The MD/MBA students can begin the MBA portion of their degree upon the completion of either their third or fourth year of enrollment in the School of Medicine. This program includes a study abroad component, in which students will study foreign-based business cases, attend guest lectures, and between the fall and spring semesters, they will take an international trip and study abroad for two weeks to gain valuable hands-on international business experience! MD/MPH This program is conducted jointly with the School of Medicine and integrates the practice of medicine with public health. Many individuals entering careers as medical doctors or public health practitioners wish to acquire not only medical practice competencies but also an understanding of the history, organization, goals and philosophy of public health. They graduate as professionals with a unique ability to draw from both credentials as they practice from a foundation of interdisciplinary education. Students may apply to the School of Public Health concurrently with or following their admission to the School of Medicine. The course work for the two degrees is generally completed over five years. MD/PhD The School of Medicine offers a comprehensive MD/PhD Training Program to promote academic excellence in clinical medicine and disease-based research. Mentors guide our MD/ PhD trainees to become physician scientists and medical ethicists with the credentials to succeed in academic medicine and related careers well into the 21st century. As supervised by the Program Steering Committee, these combined-degree graduates reflect the best features of our innovative MD curricula and our exceptional PhD training environments. Throughout their tenure at SLU, trainees are continuously evaluated to assure that they develop into self-motivated intellectual leaders and compassionate problemsolving diagnosticians, as well as becoming creative scientists capable of sustained research productivity. 8

Student Community
Entering medical school can be both extremely exciting and very nerve wrecking. While is it likely going to be tough and challenging and you will probably study more than you ever have in the past, just keep in mind that you can do it and we are here to help. Help One Another and Don’t be Afraid to Ask for Help You can learn a lot from you classmates and they will learn from you if you share with one another. This is why SLU School of Medicine has helpful Support Groups composed of a group of new students, a few second year students and one faculty member. SLU medical students participate in a variety of academic activities such as classroom experiences, hands-on workshops, and simulated scenarios.
