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!

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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1500488835324-F76P0W8NYZOACHK9WERB/image-asset.jpeg 2020 Graduates 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. https://tchucfmresidency.com/our-residents daily 0.75 2024-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1498248351745-6Z33GFEABK9BLE0I4H3B/Cincinnati+Skyline.jpg Meet the Group!

I studied Pipe Organ Performance at the University of California, Los Angeles. However, my trajectory shifted when I became involved in music therapy due to family members with autism and Down Syndrome. These experiences sparked my interest in medicine, with a focus on supporting underserved populations, particularly those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This aspiration brought me to the University of Colorado School of Medicine, where I completed a clerkship at the Developmental Disabilities Health Center in Colorado Springs, a center providing primary care for adults IDD. My experiences at this center solidified my commitment to holistic care and community engagement and convinced me that Family Medicine/Psychiatry was the ideal medical training to reach my goals. Now, I am excited to continue my medical education at the University of Cincinnati/Christ Hospital! I look forward to delving into integrated medicine and psychiatry, learning at the Freeman Center for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, building global health experiences, and contributing to initiatives promoting health equity, social justice, and advocacy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/97b32852-bee3-43fa-b48a-12e5486bdb71/McWhorter+Anderson+Ali+WC.jpg Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents Alison McWhorter Anderson- University of New Mexico I am from Americus, Georgia and went to the University of Georgia for my undergraduate education where I studied biology with a certificate in nonprofit management. After college, I moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico where I worked for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, working as an epidemiologist with Native American communities in the southwest. I attended medical school at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine where I had the opportunity to be deeply involved with our Rural and Urban Underserved Program. I did many clinical rotations in rurally serving sites across New Mexico and am passionate about underserved medicine! 1. Something you are interested in that people may not know: I love writing and aspire to participating in National Novel Writing Month, which takes place in November. 2. What are you most excited about in starting your Family Medicine Residency? Everything! But I am especially excited to continue to learn in an outpatient setting especially as I love the longitudinal nature of caring for patients in an outpatient setting and am especially looking forward to honing my skills in this environment. 3. Favorite thing about Cincinnati: Based on my exploration of Cincinnati, I can say all the old houses and vintage architecture are amazing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/d0c026cd-75bb-4eda-9433-56beb44bd42e/Lane+Charles+with+UCH+lab+coat.jpg Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents Charles Lane-Emory University Growing up in a military family, I had the opportunity to live all over the world, never staying in one place for more than three years. My love for science eventually led me to the University of Tampa where I studied chemistry. After college, I was commissioned into the Navy and served as a nuclear submarine officer for six years. During my time in the Navy, I relied on a personal yoga practice to help keep my cool while underwater and even taught classes to other sailors in the engine room. My passion for healing and promoting wellness led me to pursue a career in medicine at Emory University where I became certified as a compassion-based meditation instructor and a trauma-sensitive yoga facilitator. As I embark on my residency journey, I seek to develop a holistic approach to patient care and deeply understand the role of biopsychosocial stress in development and health. Although I have lived all over the world, I am new to Cincinnati and looking forward to making it my home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/71b76fe0-eebf-43ed-bcae-9c2ce1c0943c/Wareham+Elizabeth+with+UCH+lab+coat.jpg Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents Elizabeth Wareham- Ohio State University I’m a lifelong Ohioan - I grew up in Dayton, then moved to Cincinnati to major in violin performance at University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. Between undergrad and med school, I did research at Cincinnati Children’s, then worked as a full time MCAT tutor, sang in some choirs, and played/taught violin. I attended the Ohio State University College of Medicine as part of the dual MD/MPH program. I’m so excited to be moving back to Cincinnati! Working on the steering committee of a free clinic in Columbus during med school solidified my passion for underserved care, with a particular interest in caring for unhoused populations. I began thinking about approaching these populations from several perspectives holistically: public health, primary care, and mental health, which ultimately was one of the things that led me to combined FM/psychiatry training. I’m interested in many aspects of integrated medicine and psychiatry, including primary care for patients with serious mental illness. Training in the TCH/UC Family Medicine/Psychiatry program is a dream come true. I love so many aspects of the program, including the wonderful people I will get to learn from and work with, the focus on health equity and social justice, and the strong commitment to global/community health for underserved populations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/02f9531f-d183-4641-b5b9-b1a707454452/Daoud+Ariel+with+UC+lab+coat.jpg Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents - Make it stand out Kiyomi Daoud- University of Colorado I grew up outside of Washington, D.C. and studied Social Studies at Harvard College before moving to Colorado to work as a ski patroller. After my brief career in outdoor leadership, I worked in clinical research for 2 years before attending University of Colorado School of Medicine. TCHUCFMR is my dream residency program in combination with Psychiatry at UC. I get to train in full-scope FM with a community of kind social-justice- and health-equity-minded people. I hope to use my combined training in family medicine and psychiatry to provide support for pregnant persons with psychiatric illness during and after pregnancy, and families in the foster care system.I am looking forward to learning about Cincinnati communities and the families I will meet at the TCHUCFMR. In particular, I look forward to having 5 years of training to be with families from pregnancy through the first few years of their kids’ lives. Outside of medicine, I love volunteering my time with So All May Eat (SAME) Café Inc., creating community through sharing food, and competing in low-stake baking competitions. My spouse, dog, toddler, and I are excited to make Cincinnati our home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/84860695-45db-4430-b14b-5f7a6b989a69/Nwanze+Philomena+with+UC+lab+coat.jpg Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents Philomena Nwanze- Boston University Hi Everyone! I am Philomena a first-generation Nigerian-American originally from Greensboro, NC. Following undergrad, I immediately started medical school in Boston. I chose UC for its unique curriculum and the down to earth people I met during my interview trail. Also, as the first physician in my family, and choosing a fairly specific specialty, it was important for me to go to a residency where combined culture is prominent and thriving. After residency, I plan to use my combined training as a primary care physician that's fully equipped to integrate mentalhealth and substance use treatments for medically and socially complex patients. I also hope to serve as a consultant psychiatrist for FQHCs and CHCs in underserved areas. In my free time I enjoy dancing, yoga, cooking, reading, shopping, and spending time with my friends and family! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1089c48a-5413-4b77-904b-69bdf6cdff1f/CEPPI+Enrique+600x600.jpg Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents - Make it stand out Enrique Ceppi - University of Illinois I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois to a Mexican mother and Argentinean father. Growing up, I witnessed firsthand the sacrifices they had to make as undocumented immigrants to build a future for my siblings and I, often putting aside their own mental and physical wellbeing to protect ours. Experiencing the obstacles and trauma that members of marginalized communities face on a regular basis motivated me to pursue a medical career grounded in creating positive change in the lives of folks our social systems leave behind. As a biology-psychology dual major at UIC, I learned to recognize how intricately our physiology, perception, culture, and environment weave the tapestry of our day-to-day lives, and how significantly inequity in any (and often all) of these spheres impacts our ability to be well. In medical school, I hoped I would find a specialty that would allow me to incorporate holistic approaches to care and innovation into my work. When I discovered combined family medicine-psychiatry training at TCH/UC, I knew I found my home! I am honored to call myself a member of a team with so much warmth, humor, and commitment to caring for the marginalized. The opportunity to provide integrated care to the underserved communities in Cincy is a dream come true. Outside of medicine, you can find me noodling around on guitar, embarrassing my family at Uno, and binging reality Netflix with my partner and our hairless kitties, Pearl and Kovu. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/c4c43762-4241-4dc7-904c-d20e307a4759/Meikle%2C+Claire+600x600.jpg Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents Claire Meikle- University of Toledo I grew up in Oxford, OH, and am thrilled to be close to home for residency! I majored in Biology at Miami University, where I enjoyed ecology research and mock trial. I was accepted into the MD/PhD program at the University of Toledo College of Medicine and earned my PhD in Medical Microbiology and Immunology studying platelet function in patients with cancer. As much as I enjoyed my research experience, the highlights of my time in Toledo included volunteering at the student run free clinic and working at the Ryan White Clinic caring for patients living with HIV and AIDS. In pursuing primary care for the underserved, I realized that mental health and physical health are often inextricably linked. My interests in social determinants of health, addiction medicine, and eating disorders are at the intersection of family medicine and psychiatry, and I value a patient-centered approach to care me. When I learned about the Family Medicine-Psychiatry residency program at TCH/UC, it felt like a perfect fit—one combined program just wasn’t enough for me! I am honored to be an FMP resident, and I am inspired by the residents and faculty to help patients in creative and meaningful ways. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/5992e3bf-4086-4cd3-a407-99ea1fa61402/IMG_1640.jpg Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents - Make it stand out We take wellness seriously. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/7d577146-7526-4c37-9d4b-9c548329b1b5/LammieSammie_white+coat.jpg Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents - Make it stand out Samantha Lammie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/8808f0f4-5a23-48ea-9b11-61499534ee9f/Nobu%2C+Dorjee+600x600.jpg Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents - Make it stand out Dorjee Norbu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/7c5fb03d-b08d-44a3-8ff4-d0d72421ffd9/Smith%2C+Josh+whitecoat+600x600.jpg Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents - Make it stand out Josh Smith https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/834d0342-ac6e-4501-9c28-709c7c0d36bc/Screen+Shot+2023-01-14+at+10.56.05+AM.png Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents - Make it stand out Josh Crosbie-Cockroft - Research Fellowship at the University of Colorado https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/792c4427-d49c-4e27-8cce-88ad98134af6/DELONG+Caitlin+%28002%29v2+600x600.jpg Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents - Make it stand out Caitlin DeLong - University of Cincinnati and Neighborhub Health https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/24164134-9cf2-4250-9fa4-20060b80428b/Ledvora%2C+Laura+600x600.jpg Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents - Make it stand out Laura Ledvora - Mercy Health https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/bf0ce634-276b-449c-af9d-3e0db4ea8717/Champlin%2C+Chris+600x600.jpg Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents - Make it stand out Chris Champlin - Cincinnati VA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1505498995325-SVI1E17AAWMNSF03KR3K/PGY-1+Darshana+Bhattacharyya.jpg Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents Darshana Bhattacharyya - U. of Illinois COM I was born in Canada and has lived in England, Oklahoma, Iowa, California, DC, Illinois, and now Ohio!

Then at the University of Illinois at Chicago, I continued to explore interests in the Global Medicine Program, as an APA HIV Psychiatry Fellow in NYC, and as a Schweitzer Fellow at Threshold Mothers’ Project, a residential program for young moms with mental illness in Chicago. I knew this program was the perfect fit for me. I was drawn to the strong emphasis on underserved medicine, opportunities to pursue global health in residency, and the supportive and welcoming community here. Outside of work, I love the outdoors, art, playing the piano, and spending time with my husband when the FMP and EM residency stars align. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1505757598186-0F3ZKKEB7EEQRZRGSB2S/PuthotaAruna.jpg Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents Aruna Puthota - Philadelphia College of OM I came from NY for the combined psychiatry/family medicine program. It is exciting to be part of the dynamic team here at TCH. I was immediately drawn to the global health initiative threaded into the curriculum. After residency, I would like to practice rural medicine with the tools to be a “one-stop-shop” for my patients while also continuing to be involved in global health. I know that the family medicine component of my combined training will cultivate my growth into a competent, well-rounded, and compassionate physician and leader in medicine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1505499100123-08L9KKQR5UHI5NNIRG6P/ThomasJulia.jpg Family Medicine Psychiatry Residents Julia Bedard-Thomas - Wake Forest Born and raised in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area, I attended Wellesley College, and spent a few years doing clinical research with older adults in Boston.

It was during a Global Health lecture in my first year of medical school when I first met some of the incredible faculty in our Family Medicine department. I was immediately attracted to their amazing dedication to serving the most vulnerable population. Between my first and second year of medical school, my wife and I jumped at the opportunity to work on a project in Honduras and spent our honeymoon hiking the mountains of rural Honduras collecting data on relief efforts organized by the Family Medicine program following Hurricane Mitch. It was during this trip that I truly appreciated the importance of Family Medicine. I saw how family physicians not only had the skills and knowledge to care for a broad range of ailments and conditions, but the blessing to journey with patients throughout their life, providing care during some of the most stressful situations for a family. I also saw how family physicians could influence the health of entire communities, treating not just the disease but recognizing all of the determinants of health and how these affect the health of an individual and community. When it came time to select a residency it was an easy choice, and I matched with The Christ Hospital/University of Cincinnati Family Medicine Program. Through residency, as a faculty member, as the program director, and now as interim chair of the family medicine department, my fellow faculty and the residents inspire me daily. I love working for such an incredible group and feel honored to be able to play a role in the development of such amazing individuals as they become family physicians. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1595702631887-8STEU1N1CDQ8CWFV9RHI/Docotors_480x480_Holliday_generic_0.png Faculty Michael Holliday, MD (FMC Clinic Preceptor) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1595969822001-A6P8M47JZUSYUGG1OWZB/download.jpg Faculty Ronald Reynolds, MD (FMC Clinic Preceptor) Dr. Reynolds specializes in family medicine.

And the answer kept coming back, the University of Cincinnati. I asked to do an away rotation as an MS4 and found the faculty to be knowledgeable, kind and mission driven in their care for the underserved. And they seemed to genuinely like their trainees. And the faculty was launching a palliative care program! So, I completed my family medicine residency and palliative care fellowship with the University of Cincinnati/The Christ Hospital program. So, now I have a job I dreamed of: most weeks, a primary care physician with top notch partners, privileged to teach residents and medical students. Every month I spend a week on the palliative care hospital service at Christ, working with a dynamic interdisciplinary team caring for patients with serious illness. My husband and I have 3 children. We like forest bathing, swimming, watching the kids put on plays and all things summer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1539087989437-GQZLU9GCASFC8CGXWW9O/Goroncy+2016.jpg Faculty Anna Goroncy, MD (Inpatient faculty, Geriatric Medicine Fellowship Associate Program Director) I moved to Cincinnati for residency from Richmond VA, where I attended Virginia Commonwealth University for undergrad and med school (Go Rams!). After residency, I stayed for our geriatric fellowship and haven’t been able to pull myself away from our great faculty, residents and program. In addition to Geriatrics and hospital medicine, I’m passionate about teaching, underserved care, working directly with communities to build on strengths together, and the role of race and implicit bias in medicine. I also run our Home-Based Primary Care program, which really pulls together all of my passions. I’m also working toward my Master’s in Medical Education. Outside of work, I stay involved at my church through our Justice Team and our racial reconciliation program and I spend most Sunday mornings hanging with some of the coolest 3- and 4-year olds as a Sunday school teacher. The rest of my free time is spent with my neighborhood community and exploring the many parks in Cincinnati with my dog Buckley. I also love all of the cultural events our city offers, such as museums, music festivals and the Broadway series. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1595779898607-ZW4A29S1DIST32R7HR5W/download-3.jpg Faculty Dr. Rachel June (Maple Knoll Nursing Home Preceptor) https://tchucfmresidency.com/benefits daily 0.75 2025-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1499043355720-RJM56YEEUYVXLQVH2DX2/Cincinnati+Skyline.jpg Benefits https://tchucfmresidency.com/family-medicine-center daily 0.75 2025-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1501086920054-K81QA6OI4UMBF3RP0Q8D/Cincinnati+Skyline.jpg Family Medicine Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/2a53aeec-ee63-4c8d-9c7e-5ac4f68197eb/MaryBry.jpg Family Medicine Center No matter where you interview make sure you are kind to the office staff... these ladies are so important to how our day runs! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/8781e877-d772-49cf-a1c0-472def8805d0/IMG_5449.jpg Family Medicine Center PGY-2s representing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/7f44e1cc-dd15-4c98-ac43-8ec9595770c8/IMG_6821.jpg Family Medicine Center - Make it stand out PGY-2 Shilpa Murthy and recent grad Maya Prabhu twinning it up in the FMC! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/d99b4348-76b7-4f28-8866-91491562813a/Tracey.PNG Family Medicine Center - Make it stand out Ms. Tracey, one of our star schedulers! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/9df84d2a-f2a9-4a25-9622-e1099668a96b/CatherineLafrina.jpg Family Medicine Center Catherine Lee (PGY-2) and MA Lafrina Napier work in sync in the maternity care clinic! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/7e2cd51c-8b93-42d2-b16a-1cc76d8c71a8/BabyShower.jpg Family Medicine Center - Make it stand out Baby shower for MA Bryanna Bridewell!

I have two brothers and as a family we had many shared experiences with the rest of our community. It was these experiences, and the values my family instilled in me, that led me to choose medicine and ultimately Family Medicine. I started my journey at the University of Illinois at Chicago where I met my mentor who pushed me to apply to medical school. I continued my journey at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine after completing the post-bacc ABLE program. After reflecting on what was important to me and who I wanted to be as a physician, I realized Family Medicine was where I belonged. I chose TCHUCFMR because, besides the amazing people here, they offer learning opportunities that I believe will help shape me into a well rounded physician who will be ready to serve underserved communities. I am very excited to start working and learning about the Cincinnati community and be the best resident physician I possibly can be for them! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/33dd8f41-427d-4381-a643-8007f1ec72c3/COFFMAN+Mavis+600x600.jpg PGY3 - Make it stand out Mavis Coffman-University of Texas I was born in Columbia Missouri and grew up in St. Louis. I went back to Columbia for the University of Missouri where I studied public health and was involved in social justice work in my community. After I graduated, I moved to Austin Texas where I went to Dell Medical School. I explored the role of social justice in improving health equity and discovered family medicine as a way to serve my community as a doctor. I also completed a master’s degree in health care transformation where I learned alongside leaders in healthcare from all over the country and the world. This program taught me the principles of value-based healthcare and design for healthcare delivery solutions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/d49c526b-1ae1-413a-a68d-a019d2025ab6/KOZIN+Tatiana+whitecoat+600x600.jpg PGY3 Tatiana Kozin-The University of Cincinnati Though I was born in California; both of my parents immigrated to the United States from two very different cultures. For undergrad, I attended Pepperdine University and received a degree in Sports Medicine. From there, I took a non-traditional route while building important life experiences outside of medicine. I had the opportunity to lead a weekly homeless outreach team for three years at a park in Sacramento California, where I also included my 3 young children at the time. I then had the privilege of becoming a foster parent and it was my interaction with physicians, in seeking help for those in my care, that sparked my desire to return to school. I completed my post-baccalaureate classes at UC Berkeley. For medical school, my family and I moved cross country where I had the honor to attend the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. I am thrilled to join the team and participate in quality healthcare that addresses the multidimensional aspects of human health. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/47615bdd-afcb-4f97-a2d7-090182b98fd0/LEE+Catherine+whitecoat+600x600.jpg PGY3 Catherine Lee-Western Michigan University https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/e6157c7b-ee4f-4406-bfa9-36e76ab38c80/Lane.png PGY3 Charles Lane-Emory University Growing up in a military family, I had the opportunity to live all over the world, never staying in one place for more than three years. My love for science eventually led me to the University of Tampa where I studied chemistry. After college, I was commissioned into the Navy and served as a nuclear submarine officer for six years. During my time in the Navy, I relied on a personal yoga practice to help keep my cool while underwater and even taught classes to other sailors in the engine room. My passion for healing and promoting wellness led me to pursue a career in medicine at Emory University where I became certified as a compassion-based meditation instructor and a trauma-sensitive yoga facilitator. As I embark on my residency journey, I seek to develop a holistic approach to patient care and deeply understand the role of biopsychosocial stress in development and health. Although I have lived all over the world, I am new to Cincinnati and looking forward to making it my home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/6d0a7b57-3180-4058-b704-6fb57ff22084/LEEP+Sarah+whitecoat+600x600.jpg PGY3 Sarah Leep-West Virginia University I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA with my younger sister and our sweet dog, Dezzy. I studied biology at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, which is where my interest in pursuing a career as a physician began. I attended medical school at West Virginia University, where I witnessed social determinants of health and the need for healthcare in underserved communities. I chose this program for the compassionate people I met during my interview and the program’s dedication to underserved communities, both in Cincinnati and globally. This program has strong commitment to providing global health and I am very excited to be a part of these opportunities throughout residency! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/11988594-cce8-4399-b052-7448b325e406/MURTHY+Shilpa+whitecoat+600x600.jpg PGY3 Shilpa Murthy-Ohio University Hello! My name is Shilpa Murthy, and I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio! I am a first generation Indian American and part of an incredibly tight knit family! I was part of the Early Assurance Program at Ohio Dominican University and Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine and received my Bachelors of Science from ODU prior to starting medical school at OUHCOM-Dublin. During medical school some of my fondest memories come from being a medical mentor for both medical students as well as premedical students, serving on the board of Student National Medical Association (SNMA), as well as being a part of various outreach programs in the community. It was my involvement in the Leroy Rodgers Preceptorship between my first and second year of medical school that introduced me to the variety of care that is encompassed in family medicine. The focus on preventive care, and the emphasis on patient care and health literacy drew me into family medicine. I am interested in women’s health advocacy as well as MAT and addiction medicine. The focus that TCH/UC program has on advocacy, social justice, global health, and community focused care struck me from my interview day! I am excited to be a part of this program! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/87eed21a-4ea2-421a-a2f1-c5a77d961599/IMG_6969.JPG PGY3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/25b34ff7-dd70-4945-9dfa-ff587a29e71e/Wareham.png PGY3 Elizabeth Wareham- Ohio State University I’m a lifelong Ohioan - I grew up in Dayton, then moved to Cincinnati to major in violin performance at University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. Between undergrad and med school, I did research at Cincinnati Children’s, then worked as a full time MCAT tutor, sang in some choirs, and played/taught violin. I attended the Ohio State University College of Medicine as part of the dual MD/MPH program. I’m so excited to be moving back to Cincinnati! Working on the steering committee of a free clinic in Columbus during med school solidified my passion for underserved care, with a particular interest in caring for unhoused populations. I began thinking about approaching these populations from several perspectives holistically: public health, primary care, and mental health, which ultimately was one of the things that led me to combined FM/psychiatry training. I’m interested in many aspects of integrated medicine and psychiatry, including primary care for patients with serious mental illness. Training in the TCH/UC Family Medicine/Psychiatry program is a dream come true. I love so many aspects of the program, including the wonderful people I will get to learn from and work with, the focus on health equity and social justice, and the strong commitment to global/community health for underserved populations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/e84b254c-69fb-450b-9f41-0beea1bd3a13/IMG_6967.JPG PGY3 - Make it stand out Class of 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/5a0a7037-638d-4202-8c23-7ab4c3e1137a/IMG_6970.JPG PGY3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://tchucfmresidency.com/new-page daily 0.75 2025-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/f2304417-917f-4bcb-bfe1-c95e08d005c3/IMG_5723.jpg Wellness - Wellness Committee Our Wellness Committee is a resident led initiative that focuses on the 8 Dimensions of Wellness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1597412198615-UWCG69HR8ONU433WF4GG/8dow.jpg Wellness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1597410807817-G5BESEHVAL0GHV4T9JB8/miami.png Wellness - Initiatives from the Wellness Committee -Guidance to help residents meet with a financial advisor during residency -Positive patient impact stories for Wellness Friday -Personal Statement review -PMM Team Building time - Social distanced Third Thursdays in COVID era Birthday and Baby Shower celebrations!

Congrats! My name is Andrea Jaramillo. I was born and raised in Ecuador, and ten years ago, I made the decision to pursue my dream of becoming a doctor by coming to the United States. My dream began in 1994, when my little sister, Dayanne was born with Cerebral Palsy and Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum. Her daily fight inspires me to work toward my goal of giving back to those in need. Having lived in an area where resources were scarce, I have a deep understanding of the impact that a physician can have on a small town. It is my goal to serve as a general practitioner in a rural town in the Midwest. Another dream of mine was to give back to the country that raised me; in 2010, I began to work toward this dream by leading a mission trip back to Ecuador. Today, I have completed seven mission trips with more than eighty volunteers from the U.S. These trips brought me the greatest gift of all, my future husband, Cole. Together, we plan devote a portion of each year to the service of those in need, both here and abroad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1632234346709-NTBSCV63ZPRX8FRRNHGV/Emily+Levinson.jpeg 2021 Graduates Emily Levinson - University of Missouri-Columbia School of Medicine My commitment to underserved communities began long before my career in medicine. Originally from South Bend, Indiana, I moved to Atlanta, Georgia to attend Emory University, before returning to the Midwest after college to do Teach for America. As a teacher working in inner-city St. Louis, I confronted many of the inequities entrenched in the current American educational system. After three years of teaching, I decided to redirect my passion towards underserved medicine. While in medical school at the University of Missouri, I worked extensively in free health clinic, as well as rotated in urban federally qualified health centers, and did an HIV outreach elective in South Africa. I plan to continue actively working with underserved communities. I chose TCHUH for residency because of its strong commitment to underserved medicine both locally and globally. I am beyond excited for the opportunity to work closely with other residents who have similar passions/interests. I also chose TCHUH for the full spectrum family medicine training, as my interests within family medicine are vast, including (in addition to underserved medicine) teen pregnancy, prenatal addiction medicine, geriatrics and palliative care, adolescent medicine, and much more. I am excited for the opportunity to have intentional academic training in all aspects of family medicine at TCHUH. Outside of medicine, I love spending time with my husband and dog, as well as family and good friends. I am a red wine enthusiast! I enjoy reading (favorite genre is historical fiction), playing board games, and yoga. I love to both cook and bake. I enjoy being outside whenever the sun is out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1632234571023-6B6NT2PAM41IE2V1GSXC/Screen+Shot+2021-09-21+at+10.27.09+AM.png 2021 Graduates Elizabeth (Libby) Peters - University of Cincinnati College of Medicine I grew up in Cincinnati and took a four year trip to Oxford, OH to attend Miami University before returning to the University of Cincinnati for medical school. I’m thrilled to continue my training at TCH/UC Family Medicine Residency, where I’ve found exceptionally competent and genuinely kind residents as well as an incredibly supportive faculty with an unmatched passion for teaching. I’m interested in underserved care, women’s health, and mental health care as well as inpatient medicine and I’m confident that this program will prepare me well for any path in Family Medicine! Outside of medicine, I enjoy restaurant-hopping around the city, trying new group fitness classes, cooking, and exploring new bike trails and parks in the area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1632234692222-Y76KVAYZAKZYNEZO1C3K/Melissa+saab.jpeg 2021 Graduates Melissa Saab Vance - Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine Dr. Saab Vance is now one of our Geriatrics Fellow graduates! A Portsmouth, Ohio native, I am beyond excited to return to the Buckeye State for my Family Medicine training! My interests include full spectrum family medicine, addiction medicine, health policy, and patient advocacy. As medical students at Marshall University, my partner Alex and I ran a free mobile clinic for patients in the Huntington, WV area. Given our background, we initially found ourselves attracted to UC’s mission to serve the “most vulnerable” both locally and abroad. Upon visiting, we were both blown away by the residents can-do attitude and commitment to meeting the needs of their community. The program also has a very strong health policy curriculum, and advocating for my patients by influencing legislative change is something I am eager to learn more about. Alex and I are truly thrilled to build our home in Cincinnati amongst this group of exemplary co-residents and faculty. In addition to learning how to become the best family doc possible, am most excited to exchange ideas with my peers and innovate new ways to serve the Cincinnati community together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1632233908268-NAAS2KQUMCACICUBVI8O/Sara+Maples.jpg 2021 Graduates Sara Maples - University of Cincinnati College of Medicine Dr. Maples is now one of our Palliative Medicine Fellow graduates! I am a native Cincinnatian (and a proud Westsider) excited to be staying in town for residency! I attended the University of Cincinnati for undergrad and completed a Master’s in Health Administration from Ohio University before returning to UC for medical school. Prior to medical school, I worked at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in clinical research for several years. Being involved in the community and serving those in need has always been important to me. During my time at Children’s I aimed to bridge the gap between vulnerable populations and the healthcare system. I have continued to stay involved during medical school through community councils, being an active member of the Cincinnati alumni chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc., and serving as a medical officer in the Ohio Army National Guard. The emphasis on underserved populations and the commitment to address health disparities from the faculty and residents is what attracted me to the TCH/UC program. In the future I hope to practice full spectrum primary care, act as physician advocate for the community, and help with diversifying the medical field within our city. Outside of medicine I love spending time with my family and friends exploring all the hidden gems Cincinnati has to offer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1632234887913-0HM7ODJ5M3CSUBV39QCW/Alex+Vance.jpeg 2021 Graduates Alexander (Alex) Vance - Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine I am a native of Indianapolis, Indiana and a Purdue University alumnus (Boiler Up!). I chose Family Medicine because I wanted to be able to fully address the clinical needs of my community both locally and abroad. I chose TCH/UC because of the stellar training, commitment to community and global health, and the unparalleled staff and residents. My partner (and co-resident) Melissa and I are graduates of Marshall University School of Medicine.

I went to Kent State University for my undergrad where I also played collegiate football. From here I went to Toledo for medical school where I discovered my true passion for family medicine and creating a lasting impact on the community I live in. I am truly excited about the UC/TCH residency because of how much it aligns with my life goals. The mission to serve and influence the underserved truly represents my future practice. So many people have mentored me and made sacrifices allowing me to get to this point in my life. I am truly passionate about paying this forward and being a positive role model in the lives of others going forward. Additionally, the chance to travel internationally to practice medicine during my residency training is invaluable, and I am truly blessed to have this opportunity. I am just a kid from Akron living a dream I never thought was possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/bf0ce634-276b-449c-af9d-3e0db4ea8717/Champlin%2C+Chris+600x600.jpg 2022 Graduates - Make it stand out Christopher Champlin- Wright State SOM I'm a Cincinnati native happy to be back in town. I went to Notre Dame for undergraduate and Wright State University for medical school. I chose Family Medicine-Psychiatry because I find it difficult to separate out the two when thinking about patients. I would love to be a primary care physician for people with significant mental illness. As a plus, both specialties value talking to patients and I tend to be a chatty person. What stuck out to me about the TCH / University of Cincinnati family medicine program are the high standards they keep, both academically and personally. The residents and faculty are exceptionally knowledgable and skilled while also being approachable and down to earth. It felt like/feels like a program where I would become a high quality physician while also making some great friends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/63f73317-5063-4585-923b-1aba3c0306eb/Hsaio%2C+Florence+600x600.jpg 2022 Graduates Flo Hsiao- Yale School of Medicine I grew up in California but moved across the country to attend college at Princeton University where my interest in health inequity first developed through a global health research project on clean water access in rural Kenya. When I moved to New Haven, CT for medical school at Yale, I realized that I did not have to look very far to find evidence of health inequities. For four years, I volunteered with Agape, a church for the homeless, which aimed to meet the physical, mental, and spiritual needs of homeless individuals in New Haven. My experience at Agape had a significant influence on my approach to medicine and convinced me of the need for a more holistic, biopsychosocial view of patient care, which ultimately led me to pursue family medicine as a career. I chose TCH/UC because of their demonstrated commitment to underserved medicine, full-spectrum training, and amazing faculty who are passionate about medical education. I am so excited to move to the midwest for the first time and call Cincinnati my home as well as work with and be mentored by fantastic residents and faculty who are dedicated to improving the health for the most vulnerable both locally and abroad. Outside of medicine, I love hanging out with my husband and friends, exploring new towns, spending too much time in used bookstores and vinyl shops, eating Asian food, learning about plants, and playing music (piano and clarinet). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/d245bc52-f241-416f-806d-090b1140e001/Lawson%2C+Sean+600x600.jpg 2022 Graduates Sean Lawson University of Cincinnati College of Medicine I was born on the West side of Cincinnati, grew up in the area, and am so happy to stay here in Cincy for training at the THC/UC Family Medicine Residency program! I went straight to UC out of high school and have completed my undergraduate degrees, a Master of Public Health, and now medical school while here in Cincinnati. I’ve always loved playing and watching soccer, so I was really excited when we got a team (FC Cincinnati) and have been following them regularly since they were founded. The city of Cincinnati has always been important to me and I’m most excited to finally give back to the city that has given so much to me. My favorite thing about Cincinnati is the personality of each neighborhood. Each has different things to offer, but also different needs. I’m eager to continue to learn about those needs and the public health role that a physician can take while at TCH. I’m interested in underserved medicine, public health initiatives, and have been considering hospital medicine as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/c2634397-430b-4839-ba41-250b0a9f21f2/Rosado%2C+Andrea+600x600.jpg 2022 Graduates Andrea Rosado- University of Cincinnati College of Medicine I grew up on Long Island, New York and studied biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame. Before attending UC for medical school, I completed a year of service with St. Vincent de Paul in Cincinnati and began to learn about the issues surrounding local poverty and health disparities. Throughout medical school, I sought out opportunities to continue learning about and working with our local underserved populations, and felt especially passionate about working with the growing Latino population around the city. I am so excited to join the TCH/UC Family Medicine Residency and train with compassionate physicians who do such important work in underserved care both locally and abroad. Outside of medicine, my interests include hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, and exploring the music and art scene around Cincinnati. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/96518562-772a-4fe0-a8c1-394b6d938586/Seto%2C+Jordan+600x600.jpg 2022 Graduates Jordan Seto- University of Washington School of Medicine I am from the Pacific Northwest, hailing from Anderson Island in Washington State. I went to an all women’s college in Western Massachusetts, Mt. Holyoke. I then returned to Washington to attend the University of Washington School of Medicine. I have strong interests in working with underserved populations and community organizing. Prior to medical school, I spent a year volunteering in a clinic in Haiti, learning about the racial and historical context of international exploitation in Haiti and the implications on the populations’ health and wellbeing. Through medical school, I become more involved in community organizing as a way to improve population health by centering the voices of the community. I am excited to be part of the team at THCUC, as the focus on underserved medicine, connection to the community, and strong family medicine training is right up my alley. I couples matched with my wife, who will be starting at the University of Cincinnati OB-GYN residency this fall. We are excited to explore all the parks in Cincinnati while playing Pokémon Go, and learn the best bike routes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/5ffea93a-9650-432d-87b0-c0a62dfa1bc5/Smith%2C+Latoya+600x600.jpg 2022 Graduates LaToya Smith- University of Cincinnati College of Medicine My hometown is Belleville, Illinois (a suburb of St. Louis). Prior to medical school at the University of Cincinnati, I attended Washington University in St. Louis and MEDPREP in Carbondale, Illinois. Throughout my life, I have been passionate about serving the people in my community. I chose family medicine because of the opportunity to serve patients of all ages and build relationships through continuity of care. Also, several family medicine physicians exemplify the type of community leader I want to be in the future. I am very grateful to be part of TCH/UC program because the faculty and residents value compassionate care, a supportive work environment, and lifelong learning. In residency, I look forward to learning how to be a full spectrum primary care physician. I am particularly interested in working with medically underserved populations and addressing health disparities locally and abroad. Outside of medicine, I enjoy watching sports, spending time with my family, and traveling to new places. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/f1082907-2258-44c3-b3b0-8842b1683111/2022-grads.png 2022 Graduates https://tchucfmresidency.com/2024 daily 0.75 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1498243857170-Q4R880PZSJCOC1NT2M7L/Cincinnati+Skyline.jpg 2024 Graduates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/40e15978-fa1b-4bdf-a8c9-5711e82e4cdf/OldThirdYears.jpg 2024 Graduates - Make it stand out “Before…” 6/2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/b83b7571-c938-49ff-ab04-71da5814f7af/ThirdYearsNEw.jpg 2024 Graduates - Make it stand out “…and after!” 3/2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/b724e6a7-fdcd-4164-b4ae-d05ff44114c8/Screen+Shot+2023-01-14+at+10.56.05+AM.png 2024 Graduates Josh Crosbie Cockroft- Vanderbilt University I grew up out west, born in New Mexico with my childhood split between Colorado and California (my time in the southwest gave me a strong affinity for spicy food). I moved to the northeast for college, majoring in Political Science at Swarthmore College just outside of Philadelphia. I worked two years after college at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia as a study coordinator, coordinating multiple bio-repository studies for patients with rare congenital and acquired bone marrow failure syndromes. I most recently attended Vanderbilt University in Nashville for medical school. During my time there, I developed a passion for integrated behavioral and primary health care for individuals with severe mental illness and complex care needs, a population at risk of major disparities in rates of morbidity and mortality. Outside of the clinic, wards, and classroom, I was involved in student hotspotting, community-engaged research, and helping bolster a revamped psychiatry night at our student-run clinic. My professional interests lie at the intersection of community health, health services research, and medical education. In my free time, I love seeking out awesome new (and old) films to watch, getting outdoors to hike at state or national parks, baking breads and sweets, and spending quality hang-out time with friends and family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/98483f5d-e186-4756-b653-191453587b01/DELONG+Caitlin+%28002%29v2+600x600.jpg 2024 Graduates Caitlin Delong- Indiana University I am thrilled to be a part of the combined family medicine-psychiatry residency program in Cincinnati and hope to become a champion for integrated primary and psychiatric care for marginalized high-risk populations. I grew up in Indiana and completed my studies at Indiana University. My academic background in international studies and public health, as well as clinical experiences in Chile, Laos, and Kenya, underscored the importance of educating and empowering patients to make informed decisions about their physical and mental health. I was drawn to this program because of its dedication to promoting health equity both in Cincinnati and across the globe. I love outdoor life, small gatherings, my husband’s cooking, and learning more about how others experience the world through books, film, theater, and travel. I am eager to experience all Cincinnati has to offer! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/cbb042d4-f173-4d03-a583-7ab17cb3e1f6/Moore%2C+Shyla+600x600+.jpg 2024 Graduates - Make it stand out Shyla Dyer- University of Toledo College of Medicine Shyla is a Cincinnati native, born and raised on the west side. She received her bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience from the University of Miami in Miami, FL. Immediately after she began her medical training at the University of Toledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences. Shyla’s interests within family medicine include primary care and geriatrics. What excites her the most about residency is starting her career in the city that she loves the most and being closer to her family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/88f3ba47-cf8c-4308-ad30-2f6907c6b2db/Park%2C+Eunsong+600x600.jpg 2024 Graduates Grace Park- University of Illinois College of Medicine I'm from an incredible and close-knit family, but we're geographically pretty scattered about! Living apart and being on the move has been our norm for most of my life. It's been formative to how I landed in family medicine. Being a part of communities has taught me, we all have such different lives! I've got one body and 24 hours in a day - I have so much to learn from others about what this world is like. This, and my faith, has me searching for how to love others well and how to affirm the value each of us distinctly contributes to the larger body, particularly those we tend to reject as a society. Tying this to family medicine, I love the fluidity of full-spectrum training, the focus on community medicine, and, as the primary care provider, being able to affect how the healthcare system interacts with the patient. On interview day with TCHUC, it seemed that here, folks try to see people holistically, and I could how it makes a difference in patient care, community initiatives locally and abroad, and in the residency program. I'm also really excited to grow as a learner and teacher in a program that is so deliberate about education. Outside of medicine, I love geeking out with my sister over whatever delights us, being with my family, getting to know people, walking, laughing, and being outdoors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/ac208fad-fa26-465f-92bf-646b7c5ee942/Prabhu%2C+Maya+600x600.jpg 2024 Graduates Maya Prabhu- Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine Hello! My name is Maya, and I am from Cincinnati, OH. I went to an incredibly diverse grade school and (to answer the classic Cincinnati question) attended high school at Ursuline Academy. Although both experiences were very different, they each taught me the importance of understanding and honoring cultural differences. I took these experiences with me to (THE) Ohio State University. After four amazing years of learning, traveling, and growing – and finding any and every excuse to cheer on the Buckeyes – I graduated with a degree in neuroscience and began medical school at Boonshoft School of Medicine at Wright State University in Dayton. I fell in love with family medicine for its inclusive, grassroots nature and its dedication to provide care for all individuals. I was drawn to TCH/UC because of the amazing camaraderie (even virtually, I could feel the love!) and the dedication to fostering compassionate, empowered family physicians passionate about caring for underserved populations both at home and abroad. I am absolutely thrilled and humbled to have matched at Christ and am so honored to grow as a family doctor in the same city that taught my mom and grandfather (both family docs)! Outside of medicine, I enjoy steaming cups of coffee, birdwatching from my backyard, exploring new and old places, reading anything that’s not a textbook, & spending time with loved ones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/19a3fe20-6595-4c92-91a3-8c8373732d55/Sagesse%2C+Gabrielle+600x600+%281%29.jpg 2024 Graduates Gabrielle Sagesse- New York Upstate Medical University I am a first-generation Haitian American born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I am passionate about obesity and nutrition, social justice and health equity. In college, I founded a chapter of a national organization known as Pretty Girls Sweat where we promoted healthy living in communities of color and raised awareness to end childhood obesity. During medical school, I proudly served as the Chapter President of the Student National Medical Association, implementing institution-wide health equity initiatives. I am a huge proponent for prevention and primary care and am beyond thrilled to begin as a resident at the best! - TCH/UC! As a Family Medicine Doctor, I will use my platform to serve the most underserved populations. In my free time, I love working out, cooking, meditating, doing power yoga, and listening to Gospel music. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/71655d81-319e-4267-a455-999a51b5cfc1/tch.png 2024 Graduates Cassie Stanzler- Tufts University School of Medicine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/5e622bb8-ed8e-4f38-920b-a0ba87f49598/Tatum%2C+Armika+600x600.jpg 2024 Graduates Armika Tatum- Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine As a native Cincinnatian, I am so excited to return home to serve my local community. As an undergraduate student I attended The Ohio State University and then continued my studies in Biomedical Sciences as a Masters student at The Commonwealth Medical College (now known as a Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine). As a medical student I was given the opportunity to study at Ohio University’s main campus in Athens, OH. No matter which institution I attended, reaching out directly to the community has always been my passion. I’ve had the privilege of participating in everything from urban and rural community health fairs, to volunteering at a free health clinic as well as teaching elementary students about various topics in science. As an undergraduate student, I joined the undergraduate division of the Student National Medical Association (SNMA), the country’s largest student organization geared towards fostering excellence in underrepresented minorities. Within this organization I’ve attended numerous conferences focused on decreasing disparities in underserved populations, effective advocacy for the future healthcare professional and served as a regional treasurer. In between graduate and medical school, I was fortunate to have worked for the City of Cincinnati Health Department where I worked as an environmental health inspection, gained more insight about public health and was a part of a the city’s first group to participate and celebrate National Public Health Week. I currently have a special interest in diabetes prevention and management and hope to contribute to decreasing the number of individuals who suffer from its detriment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/d530367c-33e7-4204-87be-5e54226cca48/Suara%2C+Habeeb+600x600.jpg 2024 Graduates Habeeb Suara- Ohio State University College of Medicine I grew up in Bolivar, TN, a small town of around 5,000 people in the Western part of the state. I left for the big city to attend the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia for college, where I became involved in local pipeline and community health education programs. My experiences in undergrad, combined with my upbringing in rural Tennessee, created a passion for health equity and improving health within underserved communities. I attended medical school at The Ohio State College of Medicine, where I became more involved in increasing the number of underrepresented minorities in medicine. Namely, I served as co-creator of our Black Men in Medicine chapter and as host/producer of a podcast for underrepresented medical students. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/a4981731-4fbf-4e52-9695-ae7c7b72097a/IMG_0639.jpg 2024 Graduates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/7dd0c4ac-603a-4ed7-ab14-494aaf07f5e9/IMG_6273.jpg 2024 Graduates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1696610161058-5VTPK1RCEEWWVU9I4KRB/PGY3.jpg 2024 Graduates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/d28201b6-9408-4d2e-b16e-43efae642662/Screen+Shot+2023-09-29+at+5.55.21+PM.jpg 2024 Graduates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/a181f2ea-af25-4619-ac07-1d5a2d4e13db/IMG_3946.jpg 2024 Graduates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/bd606271-dd2c-4fa5-90dc-9d21b4d9a6e1/IMG_0551.JPG 2024 Graduates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/bf7d1de7-929a-4cae-a792-cc8136199f47/R2+2022.jpg 2024 Graduates - Make it stand out Our third year residents enjoying a meal. https://tchucfmresidency.com/2023-graduates daily 0.75 2025-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1498243857170-Q4R880PZSJCOC1NT2M7L/Cincinnati+Skyline.jpg 2023 Graduates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/9fa1252f-227f-4002-a0c4-4bc6a42afb9f/3rdyrpic.png 2023 Graduates - Make it stand out Class of 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/da50b96d-7afb-4383-910d-2ca09f315280/Banks%2C+Quincy+600x600.jpg 2023 Graduates Quincy Banks- Wake Forest University I grew up in a semi-military family where packing up and moving were familiar. Although I claim LaVergne TN as home, I have lived in Arizona, Texas, Mississippi, and Georgia. I attended the University of Tennessee Knoxville for undergraduate studies and transitioned to Wake Forest for medical school. Growing up poor due to an early divorce taught me humility and how we need strong leaders to build strong communities. Family Medicine physicians exemplify the compassionate care that can bring any community together. I chose Family Medicine for this reason and because I value the continuity of care and its implications on healthcare. I am proud to be part of TCH/UC because I know that I have joined a community of strong leaders where we will use the knowledge and skills that we have gained to support others locally and abroad, something truly beautiful! I enjoy riding my bike, exploring new recipes, spending time with my family and friends, and am excited to explore Cincinnati's many parks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/4a9cb6a1-e5fe-48b5-a134-d265bdd292bb/Bohler%2C+Rynita+600x600.jpg 2023 Graduates - Make it stand out Rynita Bohler- Wayne State University School of Medicine I was born and raised in the Motor City where I attended Wayne State University for both undergrad and medical school. Growing up and attending medical school in Detroit gave me a passion for serving underserved communities and working to increase health equity amidst those marginalized in society. I am drawn to Family Medicine because of the opportunities to help break the intergenerational cycle of poor health in families through education and advocacy. The passion and commitment to excellent clinical care and service exhibited by the residents, faculty and staff at TCH/UC is extraordinary, and I am so honored to join the family. I am eager to get involved in the community and explore everything Cincinnati has to offer! Outside of medicine, I love to spend time with my husband and family, watch movies, draw, bake, listen to music, and explore new restaurants. Something you are interested in that people may not know: Crime Shows and Foreign Dramas/Films. What are you most excited about in starting your Family Medicine Residency: I am excited to be trained as competent and compassionate physician leader. I look forward to working with and supporting like-minded peers that are dedicated to service, clinical excellence and advocacy in the community. Favorite thing about Cincinnati: As a native Detroiter, I am eager to explore the city! But so far the people I have meet in Cincinnati have been the highlight! Favorite Team: Detroit Pistons- The Original Bad Boys https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/3f942f34-3a2e-4e9e-abd1-e8194f18f985/Brogdon%2C+Alyssa+600x600.jpg 2023 Graduates Alyssa Brogden- Ohio University School of Medicine I am beyond thrilled to settle in my hometown of Cincinnati to train at TCH/UC Family Medicine Program!! #FMRevolution! I went to Ohio University for both undergrad and medical school. In undergrad I studied Athletic Training and played Women’s Rugby. In medical school, some of my most memorable moments were spent serving at the local and national level with the incredible humans of the Student National Medical Association (SNMA) – a non-profit aimed to support URM students and fight for health equity. I also enjoyed participating in a co-curriculum called Rural and Urban Scholars Pathways that enriched my understanding of social determinants of health and equipped me with tools to care for underserved communities. These experiences enhanced my interests in public health, structural and cultural competency, and academic medicine. I am most excited to be able to integrate my passion for social justice with osteopathic and preventive medicine to facilitate healing and unity in the Cincinnati community. I am proud to be part of a family medicine residency like TCH/UC, whose leadership operates on an anti-racist agenda and seeks to train residents to provide high quality and equitable care to vulnerable populations, both locally and globally. My favorite thing about Cincinnati is the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center! Smack dab in the middle of The Banks, it symbolizes the struggle, triumph, and continued resilience of centuries of people fighting for freedom and human rights. In my free time, I enjoy thowin’ down in the kitchen, mindful movement, painting, non-fiction, and spending quality time with my husband. My favorite sports team is Dayton Flyers Basketball. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/5d4d8bc2-3530-4592-94d6-70814c3b13ed/Furnish%2C+Emily+600x600.jpg 2023 Graduates Emily Furnish- University of Louisville School of Medicine I am a proud native of Louisville, KY, a city known for horse racing (Derby, Y’all!), bourbon, and great food (besides KFC). I have a background in vocal music and piano, so I attended the University of Kentucky with hopes of becoming an opera singer. Although I still sing in choir, I added a Chemistry major after deciding that I enjoyed performing more as a hobby. I had not really considered a career in medicine until one of my pre-med friends asked me to accompany her to Peru on a medical mission trip before our senior year. After learning about Peru’s medical system and seeing how members of the healthcare team collaborated to provide care in underserved areas, I decided to further explore medical careers once I returned to the United States. I later attended the University of Louisville School of Medicine, which provided me with several opportunities to volunteer in the community, collaborate with peers on Global Health projects, and foster lifelong friendships. When I rotated in Family Medicine during my third year, I felt that it was the perfect fit for my personality and interests in outpatient medicine, Behavioral Health, and advocacy. I attended the National AAFP Conference during my M4 year, and the residents I met from TCH/UC were my favorite people! I was drawn to their enthusiasm for Family Medicine and passion for underserved care locally and abroad. The strong sense of community among residents and emphasis on full-spectrum training made my decision an easy one. I am thrilled to start my new life in Cincinnati and explore the performing arts opportunities, outdoor activities, and food scene (I am already a huge Skyline fan) with my co-residents! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/7aa727ea-c674-4873-abc5-f5f11277d3d2/Mamidi%2C+Madhulika+600x600.jpg 2023 Graduates Meena Mamidi- University of Louisville School of Medicine My family and I immigrated to the US from India when I was very young, and I grew up in Northern KY. I went to University of Cincinnati for undergrad, followed by University of Louisville for medical school. While in medical school at Louisville, I was exposed to a diverse patient population that included rural and urban underserved, LBGTQ+ patients, and refugees. I also worked at the Georgia Chaffee Teenage Parent Program, a school for teen mothers that also housed a full-scope clinic. These experiences shaped my interest in serving vulnerable populations and dismantling the systemic barriers that impact patients, leading me down the path to eventually choosing family medicine. I am thrilled to have matched at TCH/UC for my Family Medicine residency! I love that the program emphasizes community partnerships and our role as physicians both inside and outside of the clinic. The residents and faculty alike are passionate about using their full-spectrum training to drive sustainable change, while being incredibly approachable and down to earth. I am excited to make public health, advocacy, and sustainable initiatives for underserved populations part of my training and future career. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/bd17817b-bf3a-4a59-aff2-b120d4ff933f/Nahreini%2C+Jhenya+600x600.jpg 2023 Graduates Jhenya Nahreini- Georgetown University Medical School I was born in Indianapolis (at a hospital close to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway!) and spent my early childhood on Long Island before moving out west to Colorado. Technically I am not a Colorado native, but “I got here as fast as I could” (to quote a bumper sticker). In college I studied Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Colorado, initially intending to pursue my PhD; however, after volunteering at a local assisted living center, I realized how much I valued one-on-one interaction with individuals. After graduating, I worked as a CNA for a year and then spent a month shadowing doctors at different health care facilities in Chincha, Peru. When I came back from my trip, I worked for one year in a basic science lab studying the development of the human retina before I started medical school at Georgetown University. Leaving the beautiful Rocky Mountains behind was difficult, but the nation’s capital made up for it with free museums and great brunch places. During the preclinical years, I started kindling a passion for primary care which then exploded once I hit the wards and witnessed how important the social determinants of health play out in the overall well-being of a patient and health outcomes. Within the scope of family medicine, I am particularly interested in addiction medicine and geriatrics. Outside of work, I enjoy running, reading poetry, writing letters to friends and family, and exploring local quaint coffee shops to grab a cup of Joe while reading a book or catching up with a friend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/24164134-9cf2-4250-9fa4-20060b80428b/Ledvora%2C+Laura+600x600.jpg 2023 Graduates Laura Ledvora - Medical College of Wisconsin Hello! My name is Laura, I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and completed medical school in Milwaukee. I fit the profile of a “Midwesterner” pretty well- friendly, hard-working, genuine, outdoorsy, cheese-lover, and someone who reflexively says “sorry” for no reason! I am so grateful to be a part of our Cincinnati residency family because our residents and faculty support each other in our passion for excellent medicine, service to our community, and personal wellness. I chose combined training because the physical and psychosocial aspects of health are often inseparable. I am particularly interested in urban primary care and trauma informed care, and the physician’s role in mitigating the effects of stress/trauma on health outcomes. Here in Cincinnati I have found so much joy in working with my colleagues to build Road to Medicine, an after school science program for local students. I am also co-chair of the Wellness Committee. In my free time I love to be active and am happiest when I am dancing my heart out in a Zumba class, running in Eden park, hiking/rock climbing, or doing gymnastics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/38b7ea51-820c-448c-ac00-b712b359213d/ONUSKO+Evan+600x600.jpg 2023 Graduates Evan Onusko- University of Cincinnati School of Medicine I grew up in Greenfield, OH and moved to Cincinnati to major in Biology and Spanish at UC. I love the city and its people, and the missions of its community organizations have shaped my goals as a physician. I am most interested in underserved medicine and mental health care. I chose family medicine to provide the most holistic care to my patients and to build relationships in my community through continuity of care. I am very grateful to be staying in Cincinnati while working with a residency program that values what I love most about Cincinnati. Outside of medicine, I enjoy swimming, rock climbing, and spicy food. I am a big soccer fan, and I love going to FC Cincinnati games (although I miss watching them at Nippert Stadium). https://tchucfmresidency.com/pgy2 daily 0.75 2025-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1498243857170-Q4R880PZSJCOC1NT2M7L/Cincinnati+Skyline.jpg PGY2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/7dc1aa4e-9ef9-4cca-b7c9-bd5cf1dc7ea3/Interns.jpg PGY2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/7fe501ad-adc7-4790-ba7f-65f01999bc69/AGUH+Nakachi+600x600.jpg PGY2 Nakachi Aguh- Wright State University My name is Nakachi Aguh, and I was born and raised in Arlington, TX, alongside my three older siblings and one younger brother. My journey in medicine began with my academic and athletic pursuits at Rice University in Houston, TX, where I studied kinesiology and evolutionary biology while playing basketball. Growing up with immigrant parents instilled in me a deep appreciation for health equity and a strong desire to improve health outcomes in underserved communities. I pursued my medical education at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine in Dayton, Ohio. During my time there, I became actively involved in initiatives aimed at increasing the representation of underrepresented minorities in medicine and aided in dissolving health disparities that exist amongst Black communities. My experiences have driven me to become a physician who not only provides excellent clinical care but also advocates for health justice and strives to make a meaningful impact on the communities I serve. I chose this residency program because of the compassionate individuals I met during my interview and the program’s unwavering dedication to underserved communities, both in Cincinnati and globally. The program’s strong commitment to global health initiatives aligns with my aspirations, and I am thrilled to be part of these opportunities throughout my residency. Spencer Aidt- Ohio University I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio and have lived in Ohio my whole life. Living in this state, and southwest Ohio in particular, has always resonated with me due to its unique character and personality. By entering Family Medicine, I can continue to experience this personality and give back to the community that raised me. After attending Ohio State as an undergraduate, I received a Master’s degree in physiology from the University of Cincinnati before attending the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. During this time, I have maintained interests in reading, baseball (go Reds!), hiking, and movies. I chose the TCH/UC FM program because I was inspired by their particular focus on underserved care, LGBTQIA+ health, and health equity and policy. These are essential healthcare considerations in any community and it’s my goal to address them every day here in Cincinnati. Rachel Caulkins- Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine I grew up in Franklin, TN before attending college at Mississippi State University. After college, I moved to Philadelphia, PA to get a master’s in public health at Thomas Jefferson University. During my time in Philly, I learned a lot about community medicine and fell in love with primary care. I attended the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. I am passionate about underserved care, addiction medicine, and harm reduction. I was impressed by this program’s dedication to serving its surrounding community and how personable everyone was on interview day! Something I am interested in: I like to bake sourdough bread! And other goodies using sourdough starter. Whether it be with fellow residents or patients on my continuity panel, I am most excited about meeting new people and getting to know them! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/2dc179f6-1b08-4116-b450-769fc55113c7/AIDT+Spencer+600x600.jpg PGY2 - Make it stand out Spencer Aidt- Ohio University I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio and have lived in Ohio my whole life.

After practicing in India for approximately nine years, I joined West Virginia University, where I completed my Masters in Public Health. I have worked in public health in rural Appalachia for many years and have been a faculty in a Physician Assistant program before joining the TCHUC Family Medicine residency Program. I have lived on the Himalayan ranges for years and across culturally different Indian cities and in the US. I have practiced holistic medicine in India for many years and hope to practice integrative medicine in the United States. I am thrilled to join the TCHUC FM program, a legacy program where residents and faculty have exemplified service, innovation, and leadership. Through experiences, I passionately believe that the sustenance of our planet depends on its resources shared by all other life forms. I am hopeful that the future of medicine will consider not only the social determinants of health but also the impact of consumption patterns and the science of climate change on the practice of medicine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/167f2fa6-c1f3-4a24-a709-7241bea50ae0/HYATT+Kamara+600x600.jpg PGY2 Kamara Hyatt- Ohio University I’ve had the opportunity to live as a nomad for most of my life. I was born in Kingston Jamaica and immigrated to the United State when I was 9 years old. From then I grew up in Fort Lauderdale and spent time soaking up the sun. My passion for medicine started while I completed my undergraduate degree from Florida State University located in Tallahassee Florida, where I majored in Psychology. During my senior year and for some years after I worked as a Medical Assistant, allowing me to learn more about the day to day of working outpatient and understanding just how important every member of the medical team truly is. With the encouragement of my family and friends I applied to medical school and was offered a position in the Summer Scholars program provided by Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. From there I was accepting into the following class where I spent my first few academic years in Athens then moving to Lima for clinicals. I worked extremely hard and developed lasting friendship interacting with urban and suburban communities. Through clinicals I solidified my passion for Family Medicine and look forward to being able to aid the members of my new community. I am excited to start my time at TCHUCFMR and learn from the wonderful faculty and residents here! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/e8b0aa0d-e71a-4908-aa22-ec531ecf21e2/Jan+Melody+with+UCH+lab+coat.jpg PGY2 Melody Jan- University of Colorado I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, where my early years were filled with classical music. I studied Pipe Organ Performance at the University of California, Los Angeles. However, my trajectory shifted when I became involved in music therapy due to family members with autism and Down Syndrome. These experiences sparked my interest in medicine, with a focus on supporting underserved populations, particularly those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This aspiration brought me to the University of Colorado School of Medicine, where I completed a clerkship at the Developmental Disabilities Health Center in Colorado Springs, a center providing primary care for adults IDD. My experiences at this center solidified my commitment to holistic care and community engagement and convinced me that Family Medicine/Psychiatry was the ideal medical training to reach my goals. Now, I am excited to continue my medical education at the University of Cincinnati/Christ Hospital! I look forward to delving into integrated medicine and psychiatry, learning at the Freeman Center for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, building global health experiences, and contributing to initiatives promoting health equity, social justice, and advocacy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/242775eb-45fd-47c1-8d6d-e04857f49e10/KLAMMER+Kristianna+600x600.jpg PGY2 Kristianna Klammer- University of Wisconsin I was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI in a Family with strong German heritage roots. Iattended the University of Minnesota -Twin Cities where I connected with my German heritageby majoring in German language and culture. I also learned about and uncovered a passion forsocial justice while working with the Minnesota Student Association advocating for studentissues on campus. After graduation I returned to Milwaukee to complete an Americorps program, City Year, working in underserved schools in the city. My passion for serving the community continued in medical school at UW-Madison where I had the honor of training with the TRIUMPH (Training in Urban Medicine and Public Health) program back in my home community in Milwaukee. Through the program I worked with the Urban Ecology Center to study the impacts of air quality and access to quality green space on the health of individuals in the community. I am looking forward to getting to know the city and people of Cincinnati and continue to work with community organizations to promote holistic health for my patients and the broader community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/42f01e37-f423-4bae-b3b8-00fdf9dabf29/McWhorter+Anderson+Ali+WC.jpg PGY2 Alison McWhorter Anderson- University of New Mexico I am from Americus, Georgia and went to the University of Georgia for my undergraduate education where I studied biology with a certificate in nonprofit management. After college, I moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico where I worked for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, working as an epidemiologist with Native American communities in the southwest. I attended medical school at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine where I had the opportunity to be deeply involved with our Rural and Urban Underserved Program. I did many clinical rotations in rurally serving sites across New Mexico and am passionate about underserved medicine! 1. Something you are interested in that people may not know: I love writing and aspire to participating in National Novel Writing Month, which takes place in November. 2. What are you most excited about in starting your Family Medicine Residency? Everything! But I am especially excited to continue to learn in an outpatient setting especially as I love the longitudinal nature of caring for patients in an outpatient setting and am especially looking forward to honing my skills in this environment. 3. Favorite thing about Cincinnati: Based on my exploration of Cincinnati, I can say all the old houses and vintage architecture are amazing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/255d491c-9e93-406a-b936-f7f93941d17b/LOH+Tiffany+600x600.jpg PGY2 Tiffany Loh - William Beaumont School Of Medicine I was born and raised in metro Detroit and grew up in a multigenerational Chinese immigrant household. I attended University of Michigan for undergrad and studied public policy. My time there researching strategies for alleviation of poverty and as a Medicaid application counselor at a free clinic sparked my interest in addressing health inequities. After graduating, I spent a year as a qualitative research fellow with Stanford University listening to people’s stories across the country to inform social policy change. I loved being able to interact with individuals from different walks of life and glimpse their challenges and joys. It is this desire to build relationships with people that drew me to family medicine. During medical school, I co-directed a student run free clinic and conducted qualitative research with individuals who have experienced homelessness. I am excited to bring these experiences to TCH/UC where I can continue working towards improving care for underserved populations at a program committed to social justice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/20af1acb-ae6b-47dc-a3c7-c40373b91d74/POMPEY+Fayola+600x600.jpg PGY2 - Make it stand out Fayola Pompey - George Washington University Hi! I was born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago. I grew up in an underserved community and that greatly influenced my decision to pursue a career in Medicine. I attended Howard University for undergrad and then The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences for medical school. During medical school I was heavily involved with our chapter’s Student National Medical Association (SNMA), where I was able to uphold the organization’s mission of supporting underrepresented minorities in medicine and caring for the underserved. I chose Family Medicine because it centers community health, has a broad scope of practice and offers the opportunity to develop longitudinal relationships with patients. TCH/UCFMR was a highlight on my interview trail because it is truly dedicated to improving the health of the community it serves, especially the most vulnerable, and has countless opportunities to pursue multiple interests, so that I leave residency as a well-rounded Family Physician. I am most excited about the global health training that this residency offers. It will be really cool to experience a new culture and health care in a different setting. In my free time I like to cook, bake, watch TV, listen to music and spend time with family and friends. This is my first time in Cincinnati, so I cannot say what my favorite thing about the city is yet. However, I am excited to see what the city has to offer! I also do not have a favorite sports team but my brothers love Manchester United F.C., so I am hoping they find their way back to glory and stop breaking my brothers’ hearts. https://tchucfmresidency.com/2025-graduates daily 0.75 2025-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1498243857170-Q4R880PZSJCOC1NT2M7L/Cincinnati+Skyline.jpg 2025 Graduates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/f3368cdd-9d22-4e98-bb74-8b88795c6d31/Screen+Shot+2023-09-29+at+6.12.52+PM.jpg 2025 Graduates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/4405cf2a-7b7e-496d-b58a-7b04cacbc235/IMG_6275.jpg 2025 Graduates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/1819455c-1015-4f35-8c15-00534066561d/IMG_7989.jpg 2025 Graduates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/7acb18a6-49d9-492f-af39-3600e205b291/IMG_2524.jpg 2025 Graduates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/62a37395-2553-4a1c-a955-5fa2fc306776/LammieSammie_white+coat.jpg 2025 Graduates Samantha Lammie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/f17f6b83-3131-48a4-ae14-8444c40aba3b/HUNT+Rachel+%28Sage%29+600x600.jpg 2025 Graduates - Make it stand out Sage Hunt- University of Rochester Sage Hunt - University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry I was born in Portland, Maine and am the daughter of a family doctor and art dealer - so I got the best of both worlds! I went to boarding school at Philips Academy Andover in Massachusetts, which has people from all over the country and the world. Through this experience I became increasingly interested in global health and social justice through medicine. I then went to Duke University and studied Evolutionary Anthropology because I have always been interested in what makes humans different - what makes us human. I completed my premedical classes and also graduated with minors in global health and chemistry. I have always wanted to be a doctor, and have looked up to my father ever since I can remember. He had instilled in me the importance teaching through family medicine, and that being a gooddoctor meant being a good teacher. This understanding, coupled with my desire to have more concrete experience in the world helped me to decide to apply to Teach for America. I was placed in Las Vegas and taught high school physics and chemistry to over 500 students duringmy two years in Nevada. Knowing I always wanted to be a physician and address inequity and fight for justice through medicine, I chose the University of Rochester for medical school due to its genuine dedication to the biopsychosocial model. This model acknowledges that biological (genes, body make up),psychological (thoughts, emotions, and behaviors), and social (socio-economic, socio-environmental, and cultural) factors, all play a significant role in health and disease, and in order to be well all of these factors must be addressed, equally. I am interested in adolescent medicine, family planning, reproductive health, and obstetrics. I love teaching and learning, and plan to pursue a fellowship after residency. I am dedicated to providing excellent care to underserved committees and remain driven to address health disparities both here and abroad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/d84084d6-2461-48a4-a994-c3f38747f99f/IKPOT+Elsie+whitecoat+600x600.jpg 2025 Graduates Elsie Ikpot- Ohio University Hey everyone! My name is Elsie Ikpot. I was born in Nigeria and grew up in Rochester, New York. I attended college at Cornell University, majoring in Biology & Society with double minors in Global Health and Nutrition. I remained in Ithaca for a couple years after graduation, working as a Public Health Fellow at Cornell Health, before moving to Ohio for medical school. My desire to pursue family medicine is rooted in the intersections of social justice, public health, and community medicine with marginalized communities. Some of my interests within family medicine are osteopathic manipulative medicine, global health, and full spectrum family planning. I chose TCHUCFM because I was looking for a program that centered social justice and underserved care in its curriculum, not as an afterthought. I am excited to be surrounded and taught by passionate, likeminded people in a challenging, innovative, and supportive environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/6d06e469-8a20-48fa-a519-0ad16ca25601/LAVEY+Julianna+whitecoat+600x600.jpg 2025 Graduates Julie Lavey- University of Cincinnati I am a Kentucky native, coming from a large family where I am the youngest of five children with thirteen nieces and nephews back home! I am a first-generation college student and the first in the family to work in healthcare. In college, I studied English with a focus in creative writing, where I fell in love with the diversity of human experience and the exploration of those stories. I led a service fraternity in Lexington, Kentucky that informed my understanding of social determinants of health and helped me develop a passion for sustainable community partnerships. Based on experiences I had both in medical school and growing up, I am passionate about behavioral health, addiction medicine, and underserved care. Family medicine was a natural choice for me, for the opportunity to treat all people of all backgrounds with accessible and equitable care. I am thrilled to continue my medical training with UC/TCH, for its incredible people and focus on work with vulnerable populations in an empowering way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/c4cfe3cc-663e-46f2-b9e6-ef54c15c8067/NANDYAL+Sami+whitecoat+600x600.jpg 2025 Graduates Samia Nandyal- Ohio University I grew up in Columbus, Ohio and was immersed in the culture of community and social responsibility from a young age, being raised in a mixed, partly immigrant family for whom duty and justice was paramount. I attended the University of Cincinnati for my undergraduate degree and spent my time working at Crossroad Health Center in OTR, engaging in grassroots global health partnerships, and singing Bollywood a cappella. During medical school, some of my most favorite memories were leading a social medicine group that engaged in conversation and action surrounding health equity, serving with Student National Medical Association (SNMA), and co-founding and running “Behind the White Coat”, a yearly story telling event dedicated to uplifting voices and nourishing a culture of vulnerability in medicine. I also had the privilege to participate in the Rural and Urban Scholars Pathway which enriched my passion for partnering with vulnerable communities. All of these experiences and more have brought me back home to the doorstep of residency with TCH/UC. I am overjoyed to be joining a program dedicated to training capable, compassionate, and equitable physicians in the city that means so much to me. I look forward to nourishing my interests in health equity, reproductive health, health policy, LGBTQ+ adult health, and weight inclusivity. Outside (and inside) of medicine, I love practicing and teaching yoga, singing mostly to myself and sometimes to others, meditation, doing anything in the sunshine, reading for growth, reading for pleasure, spending time with the people who make my heart swell, and writing about all of the above. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/775d3adf-eb86-4b31-92d0-0f47215b32cf/Nobu%2C+Dorjee+600x600.jpg 2025 Graduates Dorjee Norbu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/53aa1f72-753d-4e20-ad1f-22f795f2403a/RICO+Noemi+whitecoat+600x600.jpg 2025 Graduates Noemí Rico-Ceppi- University of Illinois I am the proud daughter of Mexican immigrants and a first-generation professional. I was born and partially raised in rural northern California before my parents relocated to rural Illinois where I spent my formative years. I attended the University of Illinois at Chicago for undergrad and never looked back from big city living! The diversity of thought and opportunity in the world-class city gifted me a plethora of experiences and showed me that doctors CAN look like me. After completing a year-long post-bacc program I started my medical education at UICOM-Rockford where I befriended some unstoppable advocates (one of which eventually became my husband). TCH/UC attracted me because of its focus on social justice and health equity. I am very excited to start this new chapter alongside so many incredible physicians as we navigate this life changing journey together! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/170a150e-83f7-4915-8f68-66d7ab37d205/WEST+Wendy+whitecoat+600x600.jpg 2025 Graduates Wendy West- Ohio University Hello! My name is Wendy West. I was born in Kingston, Jamaica and raised in Springfield, Massachusetts. I did my undergraduate work at Wellesley College and received my masters from Case Western Reserve University. I attended medical school at Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine on the Cleveland campus. I was drawn to TCHUCFM residency program because of the legacy of health advocacy, social justice, and working with underserved communities. My interests in Family Medicine include preventative medicine, women’s health, family planning, and reproductive justice. Meeting the residents, faculty, and program director solidified my interest in this program because I felt their goals for practicing Family Medicine aligned with my own. Outside of medicine, I enjoy watching natural hair tutorials on YouTube, reading, cooking, and listening to podcasts and audiobooks. I am new to Cincinnati and looking forward to exploring the city and surrounding neighborhoods in my free time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/93cd5da1-99be-41fa-9ea7-2b54a2dc60f0/IMG_6253.jpg 2025 Graduates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/d5ce3775-be2e-4c07-af12-03bacd30f747/STRAWHUN+David2+600x600.jpg 2025 Graduates David Strawhun- Ohio University Hi, I’m David. I’m from a few places but mostly Missouri, Kentucky, and Ohio. Prior to medical school I was a high school science teacher in Los Angeles and worked at a non-profit focused on food justice in Columbus, OH. I was drawn to family medicine because of its clinical versatility, focus on preventative care, and emphasis in patient education and empowerment. On interview day I was struck by the camaraderie of the residents and faculty, the focus that TCH/UC has on community partnership (community-centered care), and emphasis on developing residents into excellent clinical teachers. I truly feel inspired and at home at TCH/UC! Outside of medicine I enjoy running, podcasts (improv comedy mostly), ridiculously long walks, and vipassana meditation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/96a31724-3fcf-41b8-b271-4e6de226ca0b/Smith%2C+Josh+whitecoat+600x600.jpg 2025 Graduates - Make it stand out Josh Smith https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59480942be65940bfef08ebb/06770d28-2b61-4e9b-8c3b-9bc23f3e7636/IMG_1979.jpg 2025 Graduates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
