"An attending physician/attending surgeon is a doctor who has completed residency and practices medicine in a clinic or hospital, in the specialty learned during residency. An attending can supervise fellows, residents and medical students."

By putting attending in her infobox, it clarifies she completed the OB/GYN and the pediatric sub-specialty training. Jason Myers also is an OB/GYN, but not an attending yet. If we leave out the attending part, she could as well be at the same level of medical training as he is. It also clarifies that she can supervise fellows and resident, which is what she did in Song Beneath the Song. She ordered Lucy Fields to back off, taking her case, and also supervised April.

Even if she's not employed at St. Ambrose, when she uses her privileges, she is there as an attending surgeon, whether employed or not.
