Class of 2019 Alumni

Dominique Elmore, DO

"I am currently a third year fellow in pediatric emergency medicine at University of Louisville in Louisville, KY. I am in the process of applying to jobs, as well as ultrasound fellowship.

I loved my time at Marshall University! The training I received was top notch. I love the small size and exposure to various pathologies. I enjoyed working directly with attendings. I enjoyed the exposure to procedures as well. I chose Marshall because it felt like home."

“I feel proud that I am a MU Pediatrics graduate. While it’s relatively a small-medium program; there are plenty of opportunities for you to grow professionally, academically, socially & personally. I decided to go there because the naturally nice people & friendly work-atmosphere hit me from the first moment. I am confident that this program will help prepare you for whatever endeavor you go to afterwards. The sky’s the limit for your success & dream at MU Pediatrics.

Currently, I live in Panama City, FL & work as a general pediatrician at Emerald Coast Pediatrics, pediatric hospitalist & dept. vice-chair at HCA-Gulf Coast Regional Medical Center, and Clinical Faculty for Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine (ACOM)."
