Medical Residency: Our Leadership
At
St. Agnes Hospital we provide health care services to a wide spectrum
of patients drawn from the surrounding urban and suburban areas of
Baltimore. Our mission is best stated as "patients are our passion" and
our primary concern is the highest quality of patient care.
The basis
of quality care invariably rests on high educational commitment.
This is our departmental focus and the ultimate reason for our training
program. We expect our medical residents to commit the time and effort
needed to develop mature skills in physical diagnosis, history taking,
diagnostic evaluation and self-motivated learning.
The physician educators
and practitioners at St. Agnes represent a group of men and women
selected for their dedication and passion. While general medical
care is at the core of our curriculum, all the medical specialties
are fully represented and many of the teaching attendings maintain appointments
in the nearby medical schools in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Additionally,
the hospital administration has consistently supported our graduate
medical education programs. With a number of far reaching changes
this year, we are well on our way to reach the premier status in
Baltimore as the best community-training program.

As
the Program Director at St. Agnes Hospital, I am proud and privileged
to lead a team of gifted faculty as they precept and nurture each of our
housestaff, both personally and professionally. We view each resident individually,
trying our best to design an individualized educational experience
that addresses the unique personal goals of each physician.
My faculty and
I believe that a collegial and supportive environment is the only
environment where the highest quality medical education can occur; we strive
for this every day, and the effort is very successful. Our residency produces
physicians of the highest caliber who are happy and well prepared for whatever
their future may hold: practice, fellowship, and beyond.
