Dr. Curtis Broberg joined Hospital Medicine in the Department of Medicine as an Instructor in July 2026. He earned his undergraduate degree from Yale University, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2016 with a major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. Following graduation, he conducted basic science research in the laboratory of Dr. Shirin Bahmanyar, studying proteins involved in organelle membrane dynamics. Dr. Broberg moved to St. Louis in 2018 to attend Washington University School of Medicine. During medical school, he served as a head of the Wilderness Medicine Interest Group and as a student leader for the Erlanger-Graham Academic Society. He also pursued research in peripheral nerve injury and repair in the laboratory of Dr. Snyder-Warwick. He remained at Washington University to complete his Internal Medicine residency at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Dr. Broberg is dedicated to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care to hospitalized patients in the St. Louis community.
