The Saint Louis University Hospital Medicine Section has consistently grown since 2015. We have a dynamic group of distinctive physicians and advanced practice providers who have outstanding clinical and academic skills.
Hospitalists care for patients admitted to SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital on the general medicine service as well as care for patients on the general medicine consult service. We provide our patients the highest quality medical care at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital. In addition to their clinical work, the Section focuses on excellence in education and quality improvement.
Our faculty members are leaders at the highest levels within SLUCare, the academic medical practice of Saint Louis University, as well as leaders within the School of Medicine. Our attention to service and upholding the Jesuit mission is seen in our daily work with patients and the education of our internal medicine residents and medical students.
