She is looking forward to working in an academic center, and is interested in clinical informatics and clinical technology to optimize patient care.

Back in the early days of her academic career, she graduated from Stanford University, and received her medical degree from the Boston University School of Medicine. She then went on to complete her residency in obstetrics and gynecology from the Oregon Health and Sciences University.

Obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN) is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics (covering pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period) and gynecology (covering the health of the female reproductive system – vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts).

A native of San Francisco, Dr. Kernberg currently lives with her partner and two cats. She says that St. Louis is a great place to explore and discover new restaurants.
