Michelle Collier - Tufts University SOM
I was raised in the United States Navy, and as a “military brat”, I’ve lived in various places throughout the world. I worked as a chemist before attending Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, MA. My interests include academic medicine, and caring for geriatric and pediatric populations. I am very grateful to be here at TCH/UC because of our excellent faculty, emphasis on physicians as leaders and educators, and we have a supportive group of residents! Lastly, I enjoy cooking, reading, am a Harry Potter enthusiast, and have been a fan of the Denver Broncos for 20+ years!
Eric Cooney - Saint Louis University SOM
I grew up in Wisconsin and and went to college and med school at Saint Louis University. I am very interested in geriatrics and palliative care, which brought me to the program! I plan to practice as outpatient medicine and hope to also see palliative care patients in the hospital. It has been wonderful to explore a new city and learn about the incredible history here!
Christian Gausvik - University of Cincinnati
I started my path towards medicine at Xavier University and completed medical school at UC where I did several years of Geriatrics research. I love Cincinnati and I am thrilled to be here because TCHUCFM really embodies exactly what Family Medicine should strive to be. Here I found stellar academics and a program with a genuine dedication to serving the most vulnerable populations. Since I was a kid I have had a passion for the care of older adults and the strength of the Geriatrics opportunities here sets a high bar. I love trying out new restaurants, cooking at home, gardening, and exploring the city.
Sarah Hollis- University of Cincinnati
I was born a pastor's kid in Ohio, but have since lived in all over. My parents were pastors for the Salvation Army so I learned the importance of service very early in life. I wanted to be a doctor since childhood because of an amazing family doctor my family continued to go to despite moving states away. I went to Wright State University and studied chemistry in undergrad. While in my bachelor program I trained in the US Air Force through the ROTC program. Life took a change of direction when I was diagnosed with breast cancer and discharged from the military. While in medical school, I became involved in relay for life, and after several years, not only led a team, but helped coordinate a county wide event. I was drawn to TCHUC FM because of the commitment to service, especially underserved populations, both locally and abroad. I also enjoyed the faculty's passion for education and hope to learn some teaching skills from them during my time here. I have a strong passion for obstetrical care and hope to complete a fellowship in Family Centered Maternity Care.
