Programs Supported by the Foundation

Physician Continuing Education

  • Continuing medical education seminars on such topics as practice management, physician wellness and others are presented free of charge through SLSMSE.

Community Health Education

  • SLSMSE helped finance the development of the MO-1-DMAT program in which physicians are trained to provide emergency on-site medical assistance in natural disasters and other major emergencies.
  • It has helped fund a number of community programs relating to drug and tobacco use, gang tattoo removal, HIV/AIDS awareness and teen pregnancy prevention.
  • SLSMSE supports community health education activities of the SLMMS Alliance.
  • Scholarships funded by SLSMSE are presented to junior-high and high-school student winners of the medicine and health category of the Greater St. Louis Science Fair.
