Residency Programs

The Washington University/St. Louis Children’s Hospital Medical Genetics residency is a two-year, ACGME-accredited program for physicians with previous residency experience who are interesting in pursuing a career in medical genetics.

The long success of our program is build on the philosophy that an excellent pediatric neurologist must have a foundation in compassionate care, a regular habit of inquiry and a dedication to teaching patients and colleagues. Our residents benefit from a multidisciplinary community of colleagues who support and enrich your training experience with many different perspectives and career models.

Our four-year combined pediatrics-medical genetics ACGME-accredited program provides the formal instruction and clinical training necessary for the development of physicians who are fully qualified in both specialties who are primed to pursue academic careers in medical genetics and genomics.

Our Pediatric Physician-Scientist Training Program (PePSTP) focuses on the critical period from completion of the combined MD/PhD degree through the clinical and mentored post-doctoral research training years. The PePSTP combines the outstanding clinical training environment of St. Louis Children’s Hospital with rigorous scientific training in the world-renowned laboratories across WashU Medicine.
