Welcome to IDEAS at DOM
IDEAS at DOM aims to advance the School of Medicine’s mission to foster a supportive environment for all throughout the department. IDEAS is responsible for implementing structural, procedural, and programmatic changes to welcome, support, and promote individuals from all backgrounds.
We believe that our varied perspectives, experiences, physical attributes, and personal backgrounds make us better problem solvers, more inspiring educators, more innovative researchers, and more compassionate physicians.
Our mission
We want to lead by creating a Department of Medicine where everyone is valued; where we attract others to join our efforts; where we are supported to thrive in making our unique contributions; and where our varied perspectives and experiences are seen as a strength and an essential part of our excellence in patient care, education, and research.
OUTmed
OUTmed is an organization that advocates for the St. Louis community, regardless of identity. Membership is comprised of faculty, trainees, residents, students, and staff. Members from across the School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital are welcome to participate.
Future Workforce in Medicine (FWIM)
The Future Workforce in Medicine (FWIM) was created in 2014 to support the professional and personal development of trainees in the Department of Medicine. FWIM will host workshops, lectures, and networking events throughout the academic year to provide career development guidance, facilitate mentoring opportunities and foster a sense of camaraderie.
