With over 300 alumni across the world, WashU Emergency Medicine is making a global impact. Our graduates care for patients in remote villages, war-torn nations, critical access hospitals, as well as some of the busiest trauma centers in the country.

As an alumnus, you know the impact your training at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and WashU Medicine has had, both on your career and on your patients’ health. If you feel that the program has given to you, the current and future trainees would appreciate anything you can give to them. The WUSM alumni and giving websites make it easy to set up scheduled donations to the residency alumni fund. This fund helps pay for some of the things that make our programs stand out, including travel scholarships, visiting lecturers, research scholarships, and many other niceties and necessities of residency and fellowship. All funds go towards our trainees and their education. With your help, we will continue to make WashU Emergency Medicine one of the best programs in the country!

For many years, my email signature has included the following quotation from one of my favorite films:

“It’s supposed to be hard.  If it wasn’t hard everyone would do it.  The hard, is what makes it great.” – A League of Their Own

Thank you for using the skills and knowledge from your WashU training make the world better by doing hard things everyday, and thank you for supporting our trainees to do the same.
