Department of Anesthesiology Featured Member: April 2026

Catherine Gould, PA-C, has been a valued member of the Surgical Critical Care team in the Department of Anesthesiology since 2017. A St. Louis native, she earned her bachelor’s degree in biomedical science from Maryville University before completing her Master of Medical Science at Saint Louis University in 2016.

Since joining the APP group, she has served as both a preceptor and mentor to new physician assistants and nurse practitioners, where she enjoys fostering confidence, independence, and learning. 

Outside of work, Catherine loves traveling, exploring new restaurants, reading, baking, attending concerts, spending time in nature, particularly cycling and hiking, and enjoying time with her five nephews. 

Catherine was named APP of the Quarter in March 2026. Here is what her nominators had to say:

“Recently, Catherine Gould was very patient in helping me understand the complexity of my patient. Every question I asked was answered with patience & making sure I understood what we were doing with the patient. She even mentioned that no question was a dumb question & that is very validating when you fully don’t understand the whole clinical picture of your patient.”

“Catherine Gould is an exceptional APP who consistently exemplifies reliability, professionalism, and kindness. She is a steady and trusted presence on the team, always level-headed, supportive, and willing to help wherever needed. Catherine serves as an outstanding mentor to our group, both formally and informally, and she sets the standard for the kind of clinician and colleague we all strive to be. She is an incredible preceptor and a true wealth of knowledge, always generous with her time and guidance. We are incredibly fortunate to have her on our team.”

Congratulations, Catherine!
