Offices & Programs

Graduate medical education is one of the central missions of the MU School of Medicine, and we offer training in virtually all fields of medicine. Graduate medical education (GME) focuses on the development of clinical skills and professional competencies and on the acquisition of detailed factual knowledge in a medical specialty.

The Heyssel Senior Teacher Educator Partnership (STEP) Program at the MU School of Medicine matches first-year medical students with seniors in the community. Throughout a yearlong partnership, the students and seniors meet monthly to engage in a variety of activities. These interactions, and the knowledge they provide, will allow students to become better physicians in the future. 

At the University of Missouri School of Medicine, patient-centered care is our highest priority. In recognition that many of our best and most memorable teachers are our patients, we created the Legacy Teachers™ program to celebrate and recognize our patients’ contributions to our lifelong learning and development
