Why I Chose OB/GYN: I chose OB/GYN because I feel passionate about women's healthcare, and I love caring
for and building strong relationship with female patients. I also chose OB/GYN because

I am passionate about providing preventative gynecologic care, and I enjoy the balance
between being in the clinic, OR, and hospital.
OB/GYN Areas of Interest: General OB/GYN, underserved populations, access to care, maternal mortality.

Undergraduate: University of Missouri
Medical School: Texas Tech Health Sciences Center
Why I Chose OB/GYN: I really love the variety that OBGYN has to offer. You can be in the OR, clinic and
labor and delivery all in the same day. I truly enjoy all the subspecialties, which
I believe is really important since I want to be a generalist.
OB/GYN Areas of Interest: Generalist
Hobbies: spending time with my family and dogs, hiking, water sports/swimming, reading, traveling

Hometown: Johnson City, TN
Undergraduate: East Tennessee State University

Why I Chose OB/GYN: OBGYN is the perfect combination of clinical contiuity with patients, office based
procedures, and surgical procedures. I want to walk with my patients through every
step of their life, from menarche to menopause and everything in between. I am also
very passionate about women's health and advocacy and am proud to empower women to
make choices about their reproductive health.
OB/GYN Areas of Interest: Adolescent reproductive education, underserved communities, reproductive advocacy

Elle Morrical, DO

Hometown: Bozeman, MT
Undergraduate: Montana State University
Medical School: Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences
Why I Chose OB/GYN: I did not know I wanted to do OB/GYN when I started medical school, but after my OB/GYN
rotation, I knew I had found my perfect fit. Finding a specialty that allowed for
surgery in the mornings, clinic in the afternoon, all while delivering babies in between
is so exciting. And having the opportunity to take care of women across their lifespan
while being and educator and advocate made it that much more appealing to me.
OB/GYN Areas of Interest: So far generalist, but I love the obstetrical niche so we will see!
Hobbies: Hiking, fishing, brunching, binge watching Netflix.
