One always wonders how an intern class is going to get along. You take people from all over and put them in novel and challenging situations. Plus they spend a LOT of time together. We have no worries about the class of 2021! One of their own was on call on 4th of July night, so what did they do? Joined her to watch fireworks from the hospital rooftop.
Graduation 2018
The Class of 2018!
June 23rd, 2018 was a big day for our 8 graduates and an exciting day for our 8 interns. We could not be happier or sadder at the same time. The 8 graduates are an exceptional group of physicians who will be part of changing health care, both around the US and across the world. Each of them has made a lasting impact on our residency and we are proud to call them colleagues.
Introducing the interns!
While we are sad to see the Class of 2018 go, the incoming group of 8 (our first time with 6 categorical FM residents) is stellar. They come from different backgrounds and geographies but they are untied in a desire to provider exceptional primary care to underserved populations in urban and international settings.

A special reunion, Shanna and Elizabeth's starting FM class came to celebrate.
What started out as a promise 2 years ago became a reunion as the FM class of 2016 all returned to Cincinnati to help celebrate the graduation of the FMP 5th years. This class has had a strong bound since the start and shows the strength of the relationships formed in residency. We hope this is the start of a new tradition <<cough, cough, Class of 2017, cough, cough>>.
We're Walking on Sunshine!
Not only is it a beautiful week here in Cincinnati (well... ok... maybe it is a tad bit humid) but we get to continue to welcome our new interns to the TCHUC family. Let's continue to hear what they are excited about!
Starting residency, I am most excited to be part of a program that focuses on working with the underserved and aims to change the world for the better. I am grateful to be surrounded by faculty and mentors who will push me to reach my full potential as both a physician and a leader in the community.
-Andrea Jaramillo, Class of 2021, FM
I cannot wait to train with such a dedicated, passionate group of physicians here, and I am so excited to learn more about the Cincinnati communities. I look forward to laying the groundwork for becoming a true community physician and community advocate, all the while exploring further research in mental health and primary care integration.
-Samantha Lammie, Class of 2023 FMP
I’m new to the Cincinnati area, and ecstatic to learn more about the community and what I can do as a resident to be more involved. I’m also excited for the opportunity to work with the Christ Hospital residents and attendings!
-Alex Vance, Class of 2021, FM
The thing I am most excited about starting residency is being able to serve the city I grew up in as a physician and becoming a better community health advocate
-Sara Maples, Class of 2021, FM
So Excited... And we just can't hide it!!!
The last two weeks of June are always super busy for residents and residency programs but nothing really tops the experience of incoming interns. Over the last month or so they have graduated from medical school, moved to entirely new cities and started orientations. Because we just can't wait for our newest interns here is a sneak peak at some of what they are most excited about in starting residency.
In regards to what I am most excited about as we start residency: 1) To learn from our awesome faculty. 2) To make new friends. 3) To be able to tell people I am a doctor without feeling like I am lying (Hopefully this happens by third year?). 4) To make Cincinnati into our new home and experience all the amazing things the city has to offer!
-Melissa Saab, Class of 2021 FM
As a Cincinnati native, I've watched the city grow and change significantly in my lifetime. I was thrilled to match at Christ's program where I know I'll be surrounded by people dedicated to the care of the most vulnerable in our city. In starting residency, I'm most excited to get to know my colleagues and to have the privilege of serving the city and people who have given me so much over the past 26 years.
-Libby Peters, Class of 2021, FM
I think what I’m most looking forward to in residency is the opportunity to get to know my patients in continuity clinic and provide more long term continuity care that addresses wellness of the whole person.
-Laura Ledvora, Class of 2023 FMP
I am beyond excited for the opportunity to work closely with other residents who have similar passions/interests and be a part of a program invested in caring for vulnerable and underserved communities. I am eager to begin full spectrum family medicine training and begin building relationships with patients. Additionally, I am excited for the amazing opportunity to have intentional academic training.
