POST GRADUATE YEAR 1
SATYA ALLURI, MD
University of Louisville School of Medicine"From my initial conversation with the Program Director, Dr. Kapoor, and the senior Residents to my second look and tour, I felt very welcomed every step of the way. I could tell the faculty, staff, and peers were all rooting for their Residents' growth and success. Duke/ SR-AHEC offers training in full spectrum FM, and elective opportunities for Global Medicine, Integrative Medicine, & Duke Leadership training in Health and Well-Being, which is a huge plus. I look forward to growing both as a well-rounded Physician and Individual in my time here at Duke/ SR-AHEC."

The program puts a large amount of effort into resident wellness and growth both personally and professionally. Looking forward to the next three years!

Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine"I chose SR-AHEC because the program is focused on providing high-quality, evidence-based care to patients. This fits with my goal of becoming a knowledgeable and compassionate doctor who can better serve the diverse community. Through SR-AHEC's integrated care approach, I want to learn about different areas of medicine so I can meet each patient's unique needs. Another reason I chose SR-AHEC is the supportive faculty and staff, who are always ready to help. Their guidance and mentoring are valuable as I continue to grow in my skills. I feel fortunate to work with a team that values diversity and teaching. This welcoming environment not only enhances my learning but also prepares me to provide care that respects all cultures. The focus on these important values creates a strong sense of community and belonging, making SR-AHEC a great place for both personal and professional growth.
ROYCIA LAWRENCE, DO
Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine"I chose SR-AHEC due to its culture and its proximity to my family, which is very important to me. At the first point of contact, I felt immediately comfortable and welcomed with conversations with Briana and Dr. Kapoor felt more like a conversation than an interview. This feeling of comfort has also continued with my interactions with other members of the faculty, residents, and staff. Somehow, they managed to create this environment that is directly in the sweet spot possessing the professionalism associated with medicine yet allowing physicians to be human beings. The program finds itself in area that has diverse patient associated with a large city academic program, but still maintains the size of a small community program. Overall, I believe this will be an excellent environment to thrive in and I look forward to it."
