Nelson Society Hosts 3rd Annual Resident Career Day

WashU Medicine OBGYN hosted its annual Career Day to showcase the diverse career paths available in obstetrics and gynecology. This event connected residents with physicians from the greater St. Louis area, offering insight into private and academic practice through panel discussions.

The 2025 agenda featured panels moderated by WashU faculty, highlighting alumni and experts from institutions like Kindbody, Mercy, BJC Medical Group, and WashU Medicine. Attendees also had the opportunity to participate in a professional development session and network over lunch, fostering connections to support their career growth.

We thank our special guests for sharing their time and expertise with our trainees!
