Internal Medicine Residency

In 2023, following extensive discussions among leaders from Washington University School of Medicine, BJC HealthCare, and Missouri Baptist Medical Center, a need was identified for more community-based physicians in the St. Louis region. It was clear that Missouri Baptist, a premier regional hospital without graduate medical education programs, was the site of choice.

The goal of the internal medicine residency program is to train future internists in a community setting. The environment will place residents in close contact with leading community internists with training reflecting the daily practice of those physicians. Because Missouri Baptist Medical Center functions at a high level based entirely on the efforts of those who practice there, we are able to create a training program that is education, rather than service, based. The medical staff and non-physician hospital staff enjoy a warm and collegial relationship, and residents will enter an environment that treats them as valued future colleagues.

Proud to be Magnet® Designated

ANCC Magnet Recognized logoMissouri Baptist Medical Center is recognized by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) as a Magnet-recognized organization. Magnet designation is the highest and most prestigious credential a health care organization can achieve for nursing excellence and quality patient care.  Missouri Baptist is the only Magnet-designated hospital in St. Louis County.

Health care organizations must reapply for Magnet designation every four years.  The redesignation process is even more strenuous than the initial designation.  Organizations must demonstrate sustained outcomes that outperform national benchmarks as well as continued support and commitment to nursing excellence.  Magnet recognition is held by only nine percent of U.S. hospitals. Thirty percent of hospitals reapplying for Magnet are not approved.

On April 16, 2021, Missouri Baptist was named a Magnet-designated hospital for the second time, demonstrating a continued commitment to professional nursing practice and exceptional patient care.
