About Outlook

The purpose of Outlook is to showcase the faculty, students, alumni and staff who exemplify Washington University School of Medicine’s mission of research, clinical care and education, as well as community outreach efforts and initiatives undertaken jointly with School of Medicine affiliates BJC HealthCare, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Children’s Hospital and Central Institute for the Deaf.

The School of Medicine has a rich, 118-year history of success in research, education and patient care. It pioneered bedside teaching and led in the transformation of empirical knowledge into scientific medicine. From the earliest days, there has been an understanding that "investigation and practice are one in spirit, method and object."
