Dominique Cosco, MD has taken a new position in the Department of Medicine at Washington University in St. Louis. Dominique will be joining the faculty as an associate professor and will be the program director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program’s primary care track. She will also serve as the director of teacher development with the Academy of Health Professions Educators at Washington University’s School of Medicine.

Dominique joined the Department of Medicine’s Division of General Medicine at Grady Memorial Hospital in 2008 after completing her internal medicine residency training at Emory. During her time in the department, she was a key member of the J. Willis Hurst Internal Medicine Residency Program’s leadership, serving as one of the associate program directors, chair of the Clinical Competency Committee, director of the Global Health Distinctions Program, and director of the Professional Development Coaching Program.
