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.
