A curriculum unmatched

The Gateway Curriculum allows WashU Medicine students to explore and define individual career interests and aspirations, then to pursue those interests and gain exposure to academic careers.

Student orientation

Incoming students launch their medical journey during orientation, when students get to know each other, their new school, and their community in St. Louis. The week culminates with the White Coat Reflection.
