Medical School:

Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine - Georgia Campus

About Me:

I was born in a small town in Kentucky. I went to Centre College for my undergraduate degree where I was a member of the golf team for 4 years. After college I attended the University of Kentucky where I got my masters degree and worked in a cardiac research lab. During my 4th year of medical school I rotated at Jefferson Northeast and was very impressed with the residents, especially how all of them got along so well even between different programs. The EM/FM dual program was very attractive to me growing up in a small town where my dad practices both family medicine and emergency medicine.

Hobbies:

Golfing, Running, Traveling, Wine, I love comic books, Disney and Superman.

Medical School:

Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine

About Me:

I was born the youngest of five children, and was raised in the southern NJ-Philadelphia area. My mother and father met in Mexico where my mother is from and my father attended medical school. I studied physics and astronomy in my undergraduate career at Rowan University although I had wanted to study medicine for a long time. After graduating university I was a research assistant at the University of Pennsylvania in the anesthesiology department, and also worked as a scribe for an emergency medicine department. I attended Rowan University SOM, with a growing interest in emergency medicine and family medicine. Fortunately, I found a program that would offer me the education in both specialties.

Hobbies:

Reading, painting, cycling, going to art museums, stargazing, traveling when possible.

Medical School:

Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine

About Me:

I am originally from Whitehall, PA but have been living in Philadelphia for just over 10 years as I went to Temple University for undergraduate, PCOM for med school, and stayed here at Jefferson NE for residency. In college I earned my degree in Chemistry with a teaching certification so could technically teach high school chemistry! I currently live in Manayunk with my husband, 8 month old baby girl named Estella, and our 3 cats - Kit, Esther, and Ellie. In my free time I enjoy doing CrossFit at our local gym, trail running on the Wissahickon, and preparing food for my family and friends. I am so grateful to be an EMFM resident at Jefferson NE. There are so many wonderful people, including my fellow residents and attendings, that I feel honored to learn from and work alongside. After graduation, I hope to stay within the Jefferson NE network practicing both family and emergency medicine.

Hobbies:

Spending time & preparing food for family and friends, grabbing drinks at Wissahickon Brewery, CrossFit

Medical School:

Tulane University

About Me:

As someone who liked aspects of all my med school rotations, family medicine was a natural choice. I am a huge fan of variety and independence, and my main interest is local and global medical outreach to the underserved--something FM, with its broad base of skills and knowledge, is well suited towards. In the future I'd like to take my clinic to the streets and seek out hard-to-reach populations, which I'm confident I will be able to do after training at Jeff NE. I'm so excited to get to know Philadelphia and all my co-residents along the way.

Hobbies:

Hiking, camping, traveling, rock climbing, reading (will read anything), restoring antiques!

Medical School:

Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine

About Me:

I chose JNE because of the people. The residents and attendings were so friendly and helpful, and they gave me the impression of family. I grew up in a small town with a close- knit family & community, and I was specifically looking for that quality in a residency program. Besides the wonderful people of JNE, this program is also unique for its three separate campuses. I don't know where I will practice when I am finished, but I am confident by training here, I will be prepared for any environment.

Hobbies:

Medical School:

Ross University School of Medicine

About Me:

I'm originally from Connecticut, moving to Florida during high school where I attended the University of South Florida. Between undergraduate and medical school, I worked for 2 years as a medical assistant and was a Peace Corps Health Volunteer in Madagascar for 3 years. This is where I solidified my interest in medicine and global health! During my interview at Jefferson Northeast I was immediately drawn to all the opportunities the EM/FM program had to offer. I enjoy the well-rounded nature of the program, being able to treat different patients in a variety of settings. I have participated in a global health trip to Peru and will hopefully get more involved as the years progress. I am also currently working on my Master of Public Health through Jefferson University to continue my interest of global health.

Hobbies:

Taking care of my 70+ plants, exploring Philadelphia, photography, global health

Medical School:

Touro University of California

About Me:

I lived in California my entire life until I was presented with the unique opportunity to pursue EM/FM at Jefferson Northeast. After obtaining a degree in Biology from UCLA, I worked as a scribe in Los Angeles in both emergency room and urgent care setting. Naturally, I gravitated towards the camaraderie, pace, and unpredictability of emergency medicine. However, as the daughter of refugees from Cambodia, I was deeply aware of health inequities experienced by different communities. I've always felt that I could best bridge gaps in health disparities by building trust and fostering communication with patients to influence long-term health. My personality drifted towards EM but my personal values also pulled me towards FM. Therefore, the dual residency program was the perfect fit for me. I am excited to make the move to the other side of the country, in pursuit of two versatile specialties that would allow me to think about and address patient health from multiple fronts.

Hobbies:

Dance, Traveling, Videography, TV/Movies, Hiking

Medical School:

Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland School of Medicine

About Me:

I grew up in Canada and went to medical school in Dublin. I hope to spend my residency learning medicine, taking workout classes, and expanding my cooking repertoire.

Hobbies:

Yoga, Zumba, Reality TV, Dogs

Medical School:

Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University

About Me:

Originally from West Chester, PA, I've spent most of my life in and around Philly. Before medical school, I studied Biology at Penn State for undergrad. I then came back to Philadelphia and worked as a teaching aid in the Kensington neighborhood through an AmeriCorps program before pursuing an MPH through Jefferson. During that time I became drawn to underserved care and community health, and during medical school I saw how I could explore those interests with dual training in Emergency and Family Medicine.

Hobbies:

Sports, checking out different cities, and trying out food wherever I go
