Washington University School of Medicine has a number of opportunities offered through the Graduate Medical Education (GME) Consortium.
GME-Sponsored Programs
In 1997, Washington University School of Medicine, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, and St. Louis Children’s Hospital joined together to oversee the quality of graduate medical education training programs at these institutions. In 2024, Missouri Baptist Medical Center joined the Consortium. Each of these institutions has a long history of successfully training outstanding residents and clinical fellows; this collaborative educational effort demonstrates dedication to quality health care and supports thoughtful patient care in the St. Louis area.
The GME Consortium sponsors more than 110 training programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), the organization that accredits sponsoring institutions and training programs across the United States. There are approximately 88 additional subspecialty fellowship programs that are either accredited by other national accrediting bodies or that are in emerging new areas of medicine not yet recognized by the specialty boards. The GME Consortium and all of its sponsored training programs are fully committed to providing a quality educational experience for residents, clinical fellows and other trainees.
Residencies and Fellowships
Advanced medical training is essential for ensuring high-quality patient care in the United States. Residents are doctors who have finished their medical education and are undergoing three to seven years of specialized training in a specific field. Clinical fellows, having completed their residencies and being board-eligible in their primary specialty, pursue further training in an advanced subspecialty area of medicine. Both residents and clinical fellows gain increasing levels of responsibility in patient care while learning from distinguished faculty experts in their areas of specialty.
