I received my medical degree from Smolensk State Medical Academy in Russia. I chose Fort Wayne’s Family Medicine Residency because I was looking for an unopposed program with a supportive faculty and friendly environment. I also like our three hospital system. My clinical interests are pediatrics and office procedures. After graduation, I would like to join a Family Medicine group in an urban area that would allow me to follow patients in the hospital. I’m married and have one daughter. I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, reading, and theater. I speak Russian and Hebrew.

Hi! Thanks for showing an interest in our program. Let me say I am very happy that I chose to come here as the atmosphere is very friendly and supportive, which promotes great learning. A little about me - After enjoying my 4 years of medical school in New Jersey, I decided to return to my hometown of Fort Wayne for my residency. I was glad to know that Fort Wayne’s Residency has an unopposed program, strong OB and procedure experience, and ample volunteer opportunities. In my spare time, I enjoy landscaping, traveling, swimming, spending time with my family - most of whom are in town, playing with my dog, watching TV (Law & Order, American Idol and Little House on the Prairie!), but mostly doing nothing. I also enjoy playing my flute and collecting unsharpened pencils! If you are in search of a Family Medicine program with a supportive atmosphere, residents and staff with great personalities and senses of humor, and much learning with procedures, then you need search no more.

I received my medical degree from the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, Missouri. After hearing great things about Fort Wayne’s Program I found it fit my criteria of strong OB training, a variety of procedures, and an unopposed residency. My clinical interests include sports medicine and obstetrics, especially C-sections. Having grown up in a large family in central Utah, I plan to return to a small town in Utah or Idaho after graduation to practice Family Medicine. I love interacting with people and enjoy waterskiing, wake boarding, snow boarding, hiking, camping and just being outdoors. I recently married Angie, the most amazing and beautiful woman. I now have two wonderful girls, 8 year old Katelyn and 6 year old Kalista.

Having spent most of my life in Indiana, I realized what a beautiful state it is to work in. Having family in Europe, I decided to study in my “home” country of Poland at the Poznan University of Medical Sciences in Poznan, Poland. It is there that I obtained my medical degree and my PhD in clinical genetics. I chose Fort Wayne’s program because of its strong commitment to teaching, resident friendly environment, and the fact that it is unopposed. My clinical interests include neuro-genetics/neuropathic pain and the development of healthcare systems in developing countries. My wife and I enjoy traveling, culinary delights, and especially Salsa dancing. In my free time, I like to compose music.

I am a true “local”, born and raised just outside of Fort Wayne. I attended Indiana University/Purdue University for undergrad where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biology with an Associate’s degree in Chemistry and then went to Indiana University School of Medicine. I enjoy spending time with my husband, family, and friends in my free time. Some of my other favorite things to do outside of medicine include reading, waterskiing, gardening, and garden architecture, and I hope to travel more in the future. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and both of our immediate families live in the Fort Wayne area which was a big pull back for us. I was also very drawn to the well balanced training, approachable staff and residents, extensive procedural opportunities, and high volume of obstetrics. The clincher for me was the opportunity to be trained in c-sections and the advanced obstetrical technique certification. The residents and faculty have been very friendly and supportive and the program has a strong emphasis on the importance of family and helping each other out when needed. I am not sure where we will end up after residency, but I am confident that I will leave this program ready for a full spectrum practice whether in a big city or a rural area.

Greetings! I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Oklahoma, my Masters degree in Biostatistics & Epidemiology from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences, and my medical degree from St. George’s University. I chose Fort Wayne because of the hands on aspects as well as the friendly environment in which to further my training. I have been very happy with my decision. My interests include surgery, anesthesia, and Emergency Medicine. I enjoy playing golf and tennis, boating, and snow skiing.

I came to Fort Wayne from San Francisco, CA. I chose Fort Wayne’s Program because of the excellent procedure opportunities, great educational system, and the multiple hospital system. I enjoy the staff and residents. I have a wide variety of medical interests, which include women’s health issues, dermatology, and nephrology. I have a special interest in office procedures. Outside the clinic, I love to spend time with my husband. I also have a 20 year old son who lives in California. I enjoy reading, music, art and history. After residency, I plan to move back to San Francisco and practice full-spectrum family medicine in a group setting.
