Kansas City University GME Consortium KCU-GME Consortium-St Luke's Hospital Chesterfield Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a community-based, osteopathically-rooted family medicine program sponsored through the KCU-GME Consortium and based at St. Luke's Hospital, a 493-bed acute care community hospital in suburban Chesterfield, MO. The program's identity is built around comprehensive, continuity-based outpatient primary care with in-office procedural training, using Cedar Hill Primary Care as its core continuity clinic site, rather than around research or subspecialty fellowship pipelines. Resident narratives consistently emphasize broad scope of practice, longitudinal patient relationships, and eventual careers in primary care office settings, with occasional resident interest in sports medicine, addiction medicine, behavioral health, or palliative care pursued individually rather than through formal tracks. The program values hands-on, participative learning and a resident population drawn predominantly from osteopathic medical schools with Midwest ties.
