Saint Louis University School of Medicine
Introduction
St. Louis University, established by the Jesuits in 1818,
was the first university chartered west of the Mississippi. The School of Medicine was opened in 1836. It
is one of the university’s 6 professional schools, the others being Business, Law, Theology, Nursing, Public
Health, and Social Service. During the last half of the
nineteenth century political developments forced the
separation of the medical school from the university.
Reintegration took place in 1963. It was at that time that
many distinguished physicians also joined the faculty.
