This division of labor on the red service has allowed the red LMRs to work much more efficiently. The blue and yellow services tend to be much less demanding in terms of pages and hospital duties, but more rigorous in terms of didactic sessions and prepared conferences. Since there is affordable housing within blocks of the hospital, as well as farther out in the suburbs, LMRs live all over the St. Louis area. Barnes-Jewish and St Louis Children's hospitals are only one block apart and are connected by indoor walkways, so there are no problems associated with commuting between the physical locations in which the LMRs are working. The salary schedule and benefits available to our residents are very competitive, especially considering the relatively low cost of living in St. Louis.
Cost varies with stipend and ages of individuals.
