A Day in the Life of David & Rachel Moquin

David Moquin was teaching high school in Mississippi when he met his wife, Rachel. He decided he wanted to pursue medicine and earned his MD from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Meanwhile, Rachel also earned her doctorate — she received her EdD from Vanderbilt University. They moved to St. Louis and David completed his residency at WashU. Today, both of them work in the Department of Anesthesiology — David is an anesthesiologist in the general and perioperative medicine divisions, and Rachel serves as the Director of Learning and Development. Learn more about what their days look like in the “Day in the Life” below!
