BS, University of Cincinnati
MD, Ohio State University
Reynoldsburg, OHWhat excites you about GW?
One of the things I love most about GW is that there are so many opportunities to explore niche passions. GW has fellowships in everything from Disaster Medicine to Health Policy and there are faculty who are interested in any topic you can imagine. With mini-fellowships, there will be lots of opportunities to develop an expertise in areas of interest. I am interested in how we care for vulnerable populations in the ED and I am excited to work with and learn from national leaders in that area. In addition, GW feels like a family. Within one week of moving here, the residents have become close friends and I know I have a home at GW. Finally, at GW you serve an urban population. Located right next to a metro stop and blocks from the National Mall everyone from tourists to congresswomen, to people experiencing homelessness come to our ED.
What do you like about living in DC?
There is always something new to explore! The city is vibrant and diverse and has no limit of restaurants and bars to try, parks to run in, concerts to go to, etc. As someone from the Midwest, I love how friendly everyone is here and how welcoming the city is.
Karen Chung
BS, Pomona College
MD, University of Washington
Cupertino, CAWhat excites you about GW?
The huge diversity of people we take care of, from the person who lives in a tent to the Congressperson or foreign diplomat, and all the individual stories in between. Also, the chance to learn about and get involved with policy & advocacy -- you can't get closer to the source than DC!
What do you like about living in DC?
The city is incredibly diverse, and there is a shockingly wide range of delicious food. Each neighborhood is like its own little town, so there is tons to explore. Plus, most museums are free!
Fun Facts:
I'm a Hufflepuff, ISFJ, enneagram 6w7. My defining interests are ice cream, cats, and outdoor adventures. I'm always on the hunt for good boba and noodles. My husband is in the GW IM program (and I compel him to take all our admits).
BS, University of Arkansas
MD, Texas Tech University
Plano, TXWhat excites you about GW?

BS, Clemson University
MD/MPH, Louisiana State University
Charlotte, NCWhat excites you about GW?
I love all the opportunities that GW offers as a residency. You will receive an excellent clinical education and will also have time built into your schedule for areas of personal interest. I can't wait to get involved with disaster medicine and EMS initiative with the department. There are many chances to work with federal agencies or get into teaching medical students, EMT trainees, and other classes. I can't wait to see what the next four years hold in store.
What do you like about living in DC?
I love that I can walk almost every day to work or to meet friends. The metro makes it so convenient to get out and do things in the city and feel connected to everything. It's also just pretty to walk around. The historic homes and monuments everywhere make it enjoyable no matter where you end up going. There is something really cool about getting to see sights every day that most people plan vacations to get the chance to see!
Fun Facts:
I love to cook, bake, and play board games and I'm super thankful that so many of the other residents have dogs to play with. On vacation, I'll almost always been at the lake when it's warm or on the slopes in the winter.

MD, George Washington University
Arlington, VAWhat excites you about GW?
Some of the best teaching I had during med school was from the GW EM faculty - excited to get more of that while I train in the best specialty.
What do you like about living in DC?
Lots of beautiful places to go - favorite is the Tidal Basin right around sunset
Fun Facts:

MS, Cornell University
MD, Hofstra/Northwell School of Medicine
Garden City, NYWhat excites you about GW?
I am incredibly excited to be working in a strong program which both promotes leadership and provides limitless possibilities for pursuing my passions both in and out of medicine. Even more so, the faculty and my co-residents are amazing physicians who foster a supportive, fun, familial, work hard, play hard mentality. GW EM folk are as dedicated to EM as they are to each other and that is the true mark of a great residency program. I can’t wait to see where GW takes me over the next four years personally and professionally.
What do you like about living in DC?
As a born and bred New Yorker, I always need to be near a major metropolitan area with great food, diverse neighborhoods, museums, and endless opportunities for its inhabitants. I am also someone deeply passionate about medicine, art, music, writing, fitness, and politics, so I immediately fell in love with DC. As a side bonus, DC is an incredibly welcoming city for LGBTQ people such as myself. I could not be more proud to call myself a new inhabitant of our capital.
Fun Facts:
I have a mild case of Marfan Syndrome and underwent lens replacements for my eyes at 14yo and open-heart surgery at 23yo. I am obsessed with weightlifting and bodybuilding and proudly identify as a gay man. I love to read, write, play the piano, and paint. I also ran for political office while in medical school and want to do so again as an attending physician.

MD, University of Chicago
Leawood, KSWhat excites you about GW?
I value GW's commitment to serving a clinically, culturally, and socioeconomically diverse patient population in a high-volume ED. Our residency program places a distinct emphasis on mentorship and critical care education that I believe will ground me as an emergency medicine physician. And I am really excited about the unparalleled opportunities to get involved in tactical and disaster medicine!
What do you like about living in DC?
I love that DC is a city where urban and outdoors meet, the incredible vantage point on the East coast, the history/culture/museums/art, and of course, the cicada emersion that happens every 17 years.
BS, Baylor University
