Lobb said she was drawn to SLU because of the strong female leadership and large proportion of women attending surgeons and residents in the program.

鈥淚t has been great to get the message out there that women are prevalent in surgery and that surgery is a perfectly feasible career for a woman, which seems like wasn鈥檛 the perception until recently,鈥 Lobb said. 鈥淎lso, we had one of the best fellowship match years in SLU surgery history, so I鈥檓 quite proud of all of us for accomplishing that.鈥

Lobb began her residency with an interest in breast oncology, but shifted course while at SLU.

鈥淚鈥檓 particularly interested in health care disparities and global surgery, and I found trauma to be the perfect fit for me. We are fortunate at SLU to have some of the most amazing, skilled and smart trauma surgeons in the country,鈥 Lobb said. 鈥淢any of them have military experience and have done some incredible things while saving lives while abroad. Being able to work alongside them and learn from them, especially during my 4th year of residency as trauma chief, was the most enjoyable experience of my life. 鈥
