Outstanding Faculty
 |
“My job ranges broadly from administrative issues to business
strategy, but I still get goosebumps when I am seeing patients with our
pediatric residents and I see the excitement they have when their
education and what they are learning in residency comes together to
help a patient,” |
| “Our faculty are second to none. Many are involved in teaching both
medical students and residents, which allows them to perfect their
teaching skills. Our education goes beyond clinical care to business
site meetings and a month-long unit in health care management, helping
us learn issues of coding, billing, scheduling and the other areas of
life that need to be mastered to be a successful physician.” - Paul E. McKee, MD Resident, Family & Geriatric Medicine |

Superior Learning Environment
 |
“All of the programs at UofL work well together to provide excellent
patient care and a superior learning environment. Everybody is easy to
get along with and UofL offers a great surgical experience. It doesn’t
matter what surgical field you are in, you will learn to operate here.
Without hesitation, I will be prepared to meet the demands of being a
Neurosurgeon.”
Kimathi Doss, MD |

“Our program focuses on creating an environment where residents
experience one-on-one time with attending physicians and are motivated
to learn and participate in research opportunities. We are
well-prepared to pass the board examinations and for practice in both
community and academic settings.” - Susan Williams, MD Resident, Pathology |
A Full Range of Expertise
 |
“UofL is a remarkable institution – and I have attended three urban
colleges and universities. In addition to having a full academic
offering and top-tier athletics, UofL is in the most livable of
cities. My residency has offered the opportunity to experience
specialty and sub-specialty medicine at the highest level, yet still
offers a broad and deep primary care experience – consistent with my
belief in the critical position of primary care in delivering
high-quality and effective health care. - Leon E. Butler, Jr. MD Resident, Family & Geriatric Medicine |
| “The University of Louisville provides everything needed to shape
residents into dynamic primary care physicians. This includes a robust
research program, personable attending physicians who enjoy teaching
residents, a wealth of subspecialties available for consults, and a
dedicated faculty and staff with patient care as a number one
priority. The medical momentum here is palpable.” - Patricia Bell, MD Resident, Pediatrics |
