MS Orientation

On behalf of the Orientation Committee, We would like to congratulate you on your acceptance to Saint Louis University School of Medicine. We are planning a week full of activities to help you feel more comfortable in your new environment. A brief explanation of the week:

Orientation Week will begin with the White Coat Ceremony. Entering students will be given their first white coats, the symbol of the medical profession. The ceremony is meant to foster professionalism and humanism in medicine. Parents, spouses, and family are invited to attend the ceremony at St. Francis Xavier College Church. This is one very special occasion; the beginning of your career in the medical profession.

The rest of the week will be casual and will provide a variety of other information about medical school life and the curriculum, financial aid, and extracurricular student organizations. There will also be several social events as well as medical activities that will help acquaint you with your fellow classmates and your new environment.

We encourage you to arrive in St. Louis early enough to find housing so that you will be able to participate in and enjoy Orientation. PLEASE NOTE…Housing information is contained on our separate medical school housing page. You may also call Mrs. Susan Aslin for housing updates and lists of students seeking roommates at 314-977-9827.

We look forward to welcoming you to St. Louis and hope that we can make your transition to your first year of medical school as smooth as possible. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us individually or email us at SLUSOMOrientationHosts09@gmail.com. We look forward to meeting you.
