Welcome to St. Luke’s Medical Center William H. Quasha Memorial.
At St. Luke’s, we believe that excellence in medical education goes far beyond delivering content on mastering facts and skills. Here you matter. Mattering means you are seen not just as a student but as a person of unique value with your own dreams, strengths, and story. Mattering is not just about belonging to a class or a school; it’s about knowing that you’re part of something greater than yourself. A community that recognizes your worth and invests in your success, every Lukan is hand-picked, chosen not only for academic excellence but because we see the promise you hold. Our commitment is to walk with you, to support you, and to challenge you, because your success matters to us in every classroom, every clinical rotation, and every conversation we nurture, not only knowledge and skills but the deep sense that each student, each faculty member, and each staff member truly matters, this evolving culture of mattering shape the way we teach, the way we care each other, and ultimately the our graduates care for their patient when students know they matter they bring that same sense of recognition and respect into the lives of the people they serve. At St. Luke’s Medical Center College of Medicine, you matter much to us in the future of healthcare and to the lives you touch, as a compassionate, competent, and caring physician, because here your journey matters and so do you.
