Morgan Brock, DO | Fourth Year Resident
I chose ETSU Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency program for so many reasons! The number one being that I wanted a place where the faculty and residents are a close knit, supportave team, and I found that here. I plan on working in the Appalachian area after residency, so I wanted a program that was familiar and worked with the population. During my interview day, the residents and faculty were so friendly and welcoming, it just felt like home. Lastly, I love living in the mountains.

Caroline Bulger, MD | Fourth Year Resident
Having gone to medical school at ETSU, I knew the program well. The patients and the faculty here were a huge part of why I fell in love with this specialty. The residents always gave me so many opportunities to learn and made me more confident in my clinical skills. When choosing a residency program, I knew I would get all of the training I needed to become the compassionate and capable OB/GYN I amined to be by choosing my home program

Emily Holton, MD | Third Year Resident
I’ve spent my entire life in East Tennessee and couldn’t imagine calling anywhere else home. I loved my OBGYN rotation at Quillen and became even closer with the residents and attendings during my fourth year elective rotations. When I matched at ETSU, I truly felt like I had joined a family, because almost all the residents reached out to me immediately to welcome me to the program.

Meghan Olson, MD | Third Year Resident
I chose ETSU for the opportunity to work with a rural and often underserved patient population. I’m very interested in the overlap between OBGYN and mental/behavioral health, and ETSU was one of the few programs I found that trained residents in medication assisted treatment in pregnancy. Plus, East Tennessee is beautiful, and you could not finder a nicer or more supportive group of people to train with.

I wanted to serve a high-risk and underserved patient population and I love the mountains, so ETSU was a great fit. I have also been impressed with the culture that my co-residents have fostered. A culture of supporting each other in the common goal of ever better patient care.

Dr. Samantha Bookbinder, MD | First Year Resident
ETSU was my program goldilocks. After spending my third year of medical school at our rural health sister campus, I wanted a program that had both high acuity cases but with a small community environment. I wanted a program that had the resources of an academic institution but was more focused on medical education than on research. Applying for residency, I was also deeply conflicted about how to access training in complex family planning without being a part of the “medical brain drain”, and ETSU’s location on the border of Tennessee and Virginia has allowed me to advocate for patients while still getting appropriate training for my career.

I chose ETSU OBGYN because I love this area and I am passionate about serving the people of this region! Seeing this program as a medical student and watching the relationship between the residents really sold me on the program. ETSU helped me realize that OBGYN was my passion, and I am thrilled to be able to complete my residency training here.
