"Marshall's family medicine residency is a great training program, and I cannot think of a better place to learn the full spectrum of family medicine. Residency can be isolating from those outside the medical community. At Marshall, faculty along with my fellow residents and colleagues were always supportive and encouraging. There was always the sense of being a part of a team and the importance of a work-life balance. The training I received made me a well-rounded family physician, which provided me with a number of career paths to pursue after residency. I would not change the teaching and lessons I learned while at Marshall for anything.

Currently, I am completing a Sleep Medicine Fellowship at Stanford University, with plans to practice sleep medicine following fellowship."

"I have nothing but fond memories of my three years of residency at Marshall. Residency was the first time I ever lived outside of my home state of Pennsylvania, but because of my co-residents and faculty members I felt constantly supported and made lifelong friends along the way. The education I received was excellent, but one valuable characteristic of this program is the flexibility. I knew early on I wanted to pursue an obstetrics fellowship and that having prior OB experience would make me a more competitive candidate. Marshall worked with me to tailor my electives throughout my second and third years of residency, which led to multiple fellowship offers. During fellowship I was able to use my training when I acted as the attending physician on the medicine service and as a preceptor in the outpatient clinic.

I am currently working as a FP-OB and faculty member for the Tallahassee Memorial Family Practice Residency Program."

"My commitment to serve those who live under the poverty level began as a National Health Service Corps full scholarship recipient in Medical school. Hence, my decision to choose Marshall University Family Medicine (MUFM) as my residency program came naturally. MUFM is situated in the tristate area and caters to the rural population of not only West Virginia but also Kentucky and Ohio. The program trained me to meet the challenges of practicing medicine to the broad population base where almost 18 percent of the residents live under the poverty level. Given the scarcity of specialists in the surrounding area, I had the opportunity to handle one of the most demanding inpatient hospital service in terms of acuity and independent autonomy for residents. MUFM also trained me in outpatient visits and procedures that exceed the requirements of ACGME. Thus it prepared me to treat the underserved regardless of geographic location and available resources.

I am currently working as a primary care physician at Unity Healthcare System. It is one of the largest community based non profit organizations in Washington, DC that includes 11 clinics and 11 homeless shelters. In addition, I work as faculty member for The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences while I continue to provide free health care to women and children living in the impoverished areas of Bangladesh through my non profit organization called HatchHope Yawarith Foundation."
