"Having grown up in Florida, I did not realize the beauty of four seasons until I moved to East Tennessee. After completing my undergraduate degree at Emory University, I started medical school at Quillen. I enjoyed the school and the location so much I stayed for my pediatric residency training and I'm still here as faculty. Quillen has wonderful people to work with in beautiful surroundings."
Dr. Dawn Tuell-Pediatric Resident (2001-2004)-Faculty-General Pediatrics (2004-Present)
"I grew up about an hour
southwest of Johnson City and have been here since finishing my
undergraduate program. The College of Medicine has
several nationally known programs yet maintains a feeling of
family. The surrounding area is wonderful place to grow
up, raise a family, and train to be a pediatrician.
Perhaps the biggest asset of the area and of the college is the
wonderful people found throughout."
Casey Moss, M.D.-Pediatric Resident
(2004-2007)
"I am a native to East
Tennessee. After completing undergraduate studies at UT
Knoxville, I specifically chose ETSU Quillen College Of Medicine
for the much smaller class sizes and excellent access to
faculty. I have no regrets and highly recommend ETSU
for this very reason! After a very rewarding career
as a Navy Pediatrician, I had no hesitation returning home to my
Alma Mater! I am very proud of our Residency Program. Our
graduates are competent and caring professionals with bright
futures in Pediatrics. East Tennessee continues to be my
favorite place of all my travels."
Debra Quarles Mills, MD-Pediatric Resident
(1990-1993) Faculty-Associate Professor of Pediatrics
(2000-Present)
"I came here in part because the
faculty are approachable and very willing to teach both students
and residents. The small program size and subsequent
closeness of all the residents is also a big plus."
Jerel Scarberry, M.D.-Pediatric Resident
(2005-Present)
"I like this program because we are small and
get along like a family. The location is a place that looks and
feels like heaven. I have been allowed to grow both
professionally and emotionally."
Gail Gallemore, MD-Professor of
Pediatrics-Chief, Pediatrics Infectious Disease
(1980-2007)
"I choose ETSU pediatrics because of
several reasons. Main thing which attracted me is the didactic
curriculum with highly skilled faculty members in general
pediatrics, pediatrics subspecialties like nephrology,
Gastroenterology, endocrinology, cardiology, infectious
disease, and hematology oncology etc who dedicate their time in
teaching. The beautiful geographic location of the ETSU campus,
and Appalachian mountains really worth living here. In addition
residents have opportunity to get individual attention and
evaluations which are really helpful to make us competent
enough to practice as successful physicians to serve the
community."
