Derek Meeks, M.D.,  Graduation 2011
"Internship is a challenge, but having the priviledge to operate begins from the first day of the year.  Bedside procedures and cases appropriate to my level are frequent.  Interns are always welcome and often needed to assist in more advanced cases.  Overall, getting to scrub is an opportunity to work directly with an attending and learn the art of surgery." written July 2006


Sharon L. Williams, M.D., Graduation 2009
"I have enjoying my time here.  There is a strong emphasis on learning but the atmosphere is friendly.  Operative experience builds up from the intern year starting with skin, soft tissue, and basic laparoscopic procedures and advances to more challenging cases as you go.  Clinical and basic science education is a blend of didactic and bedside teaching.  All of the services are busy with lots of cases and clinic but we have a lot of fun working together." written July 2006



Felicia N. Williams, M.D., Graduation 2011
"It is hard to imagine a greater challenge in life than devoting the rest of your life to treating, serving and saving others. This is the challenge of Medicine. There is no greater bond to your patients than to have both the physical and mental ability to help and save them. This is the amazement of Surgery. I chose this program because I felt that my fellow residents and the faculty understood these principles and would help mold me into the Surgeon I wanted to be. To date, they have exceeded my expectations."  written July 2006
