GME OB/GYN Faculty

Program Info & Resources

Greetings from Dr. Boyd

Mercy has a vital and energetic program, which will give you the skills you need to become proficient and confident in the clinical practice of obstetrics and gynecology.

Our Faculty consists of talented leaders in the fields of Maternal Fetal Medicine, Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, Gynecologic Oncology, Reproductive Endocrinology, Genetics, as well as generalists in Obstetrics and Gynecology. In addition, we have over one hundred private staff physicians, many of whom trained at Mercy Hospital St. Louis, who are committed to participate fully in the training of residents.

I look forward to meeting you in the interview process, and I encourage you to consider an elective rotation at Mercy during your senior year, so that you might get an up close and personal look at our fantastic training program.

You have made a wise decision for your future! Hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,

Craig Boyd, MD
Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology
