Greetings from Dr. Chirino
 Welcome to the St. John’s Mercy Medical Center’s OB/Gyn website.
St. John’s 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, Pelvic 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 St. John’s Mercy, 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 St. John’s 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,

Greetings from Dr. Veronikis
 I
am very pleased you have inquired about our training program at St. John’s Mercy Medical Center. The OB/GYN Residency at St. John’s
prides itself on offering a comprehensive academic and surgical program in
a community setting. In addition to having a broad-based general OB/GYN faculty,
all the subspecialties are represented on site, located in the west corridor
of St. Louis.
The large surgical and obstetrical volume at St. John’s provides a solid curriculum for the resident doctors. This is balanced with a protected academic time for lectures and conferences. Additionally, student doctors from sister institutions rotate through our services to augment their educational experiences. This provides an opportunity for teaching, as well as cultivating interest in student doctors with regard to the field of women’s care.
In today’s rapidly changing field
of medicine, the residency program remains flexible in providing a continually
changing curriculum, as well as the core disciplines. We are delighted that
you have expressed interest in our program and would strongly encourage you
to consider doing a 4th year rotation as an elective.
I look forward to having the opportunity
to meet with you and discuss in detail our residency training program. Please
accept my congratulations on pursuing a career in women’s health. I’m
certain that you will find it constantly stimulating, as well as professionally
gratifying as you move through your professional career.
Sincerely,
Dionysios Veronikis, M.D.
Program Director
St. John’s Mercy Medical Center
