Day 2 of reading IM applications! I know this is a stressful time for applicants - but it is absolutely amazing to read your stories. The future of medicine is in great hands! WUSM Department of Medicine Test Account WashU Internal Medicine Residency Program

Happy delayed Halloween from the CCU 🫀 night team! We initially wanted to dress up like swans 🦢(iykyk), but the makeup and feathers would be a bit too much for the unit. So we kept it simple.
