Uva internal medicine program director

What about you would surprise us? Resident education came first, always. Donowitz was the morning report in which he welcomed the incoming interns. The time he spent learning about them all prior to their arrival was touching to me every year.

It encouraged me to do the same for my incoming interns. The Internal Medicine Residency Program at the University of Virginia offers you world-class academic clinical training.

The training opportunities and curriculum have been designed to be flexible to help you follow your unique interests as much as possible but also to be supportive to allow you the right balance of autonomy and mentorship.

The goal of the Department is to help you reach your ultimate goals and objectives. A faculty of outstanding clinicians, scientists and teachers will offer their support in helping you develop your skills and interests in Internal Medicine in an atmosphere that is challenging yet supportive. We hope to meet you this interview season and tell you more about what makes UVA so great!

Prior to fellowship, I spent two years working as an internist on the Navajo reservation in the Indian Health Service. I did my internal medicine residency and chief residency at Emory GradyMade. I came to Charlottesville in to do basic science research. This was a big move after growing up and completing medical school in Vienna, Austria. Missing patient care, I started residency and fellowship training in Pulmonary Critical Care Medicine a few years later, and joined the UVA faculty in I deeply enjoy teaching medical students, residents and staff as I take care of patients at the bedside.

In my free time, I enjoy sports, running, jumping, playing volleyball, but also love cooking and baking, and gardening. At UVA, we are passionate about medicine and teaching. I was drawn here by the wonderful people who are dedicated to their mission of caring for the underserved and training the next generation of compassionate physicians. I grew up in Michigan and North Carolina.

After finishing med school at UNC in , my husband and I spent the next eight years living in DC where I did residency, a chief resident year, and was faculty at Georgetown. As a general medicine attending, I found my academic home in medical education and served as an assistant program director for the Georgetown Internal Medicine Residency. We arrived at UVA in , excited to see the mountains out our window and watch our kids, Nathan 8 and Kira 4 , play in the wide open spaces.
