Congratulations to our Class of 2012! We bid a fond farewell to our wonderful chief residents this past Saturday. The ceremony was held at Union Station in downtown STL and was well attended by both residents and faculty. We've bounced around to many different venues but this was one of the best. Drs. Meiling Hua, Kylie Smith, Ali Venturella, Anya Rabinov, Elena Rhoads, Kate O'Neill, Brooke Winner, Lindsay Reed and Shayna Norman all received their residency diplomas. Dr. Hua will be pursuing an MFM fellowship at Jefferson in Philly. Dr. O'Neil will be joining her in Philly where she will be going into REI. Shayna Norman (MFM) and Brooke Winner (MIS) will both be staying at Wash U. Kylie Smith joins a prestigious private practice group in Seattle, Washington. Ali Venturella will be doing the same in Sweet Home Alabama. Anya and Elena will be returning to California with Elena joining a great group just outside of Anaheim. Their efforts to stick together and complete a difficult residency are noted and praised. I wish them all luck and look forward to seeing the great things that will be coming from them. Sincerely, Tony Shanks
