Anyone know anything or have any opinions about the Des Peres internal medicine program in St. Louis? I'm considering it for next year but haven't rotated there yet. Thanks!

I talked to a girl who rotated at Wash U (shes a DO) but overheard the PD tell one of the assistant PD (or something) the he would rather take a unqualified FMG than any DO.
So forget trying to get into Wash U IM. I didn't even apply there.
I have a friend doing that is going to start an anesthesia residency there. He told me that they said they would not even think about an applicant for a position that did not do a rotation there. Also, I applied to a broad range of programs for my residency spot. Des Peres responded to my application basically saying that they appreciate the application, they think I have good stats, but they are not considering anybody that did not rotate through the program. So basically my advice is, if you are thinking about this place - do a rotation with them.
