Faculty Profiles
This program is not a one size fits all, because the people we encounter are not one size fits all. I think it’s a welcoming thing to see someone who may look like you represented there, or someone who has shared an experience that you can instantly connect with.
-Nikki Moore, Atrium Health Residency Alum
Don’t expect an easy journey. Don’t expect not to be challenged. Do expect a collection of experiences that will transform you as a person.
-Mark Rumsey, Atrium Health Internships and Residency Alum
