Graduates
Graduates of the program have had outstanding success in matching high quality residencies.
David N. Loy, M.D., Ph.D. - December 2002
After Dr. Loy was awarded his degree, he worked as a post-doctoral fellow with Drs. Scott Whittemore and Christopher Shields in the Department of Anatomical Sciences and Neurobiology. Dr. Loy began an internship in General Surgery at the University of Louisville in July 2003 and in July 2004 he began a radiology residency at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Washington University in St. Louis. The residency tract allowed him to spend 1 full year in the lab, working with Dr. Victor Song in the Biomedical MR laboratory, focusing on MR diffusion tensor imaging in spinal cord injury. Additionally, he started a collaborative effort between WashU and the UofL Dept of Neurosurgery in 2006. In the clinical arena, he was accepted into the Endosurgical Neuroradiology fellowship starting in 2008. This was a two year fellowship that included one year of specialized diagnostic neuroradiology followed by a year of interventional training involving endovascular treatment of brain aneurysms and advanced interventional spine procedures. In July 2010, Dr. Loy became a faculty member at Washington University, Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, St. Louis, MO, in the Division of Neuroradiology/Interventional Radiology. He spends half of his time in the lab. He indicates this is his "dream job."
Daniel Allendorf, M.D., Ph.D. - May 2007
Dr. Allendorf was selected to participate in the University of Alabama, Birmingham's, Internal Medicine Residency Training Program, American Board of Internal Medicine Research Pathway. The ABIM Research Pathway is an integrated physician-scientist program that combines training in research with training in clinical internal medicine.
Anwar Husain, M.D., Ph.D. - May 2007
Dr. Husain participated in a postdoctoral fellowship at Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, under the mentorship of Peter G. Shields, M.D. He worked on metabolomics studies related to cigarette smoke toxicology and folate metabolomics related to breast cancer risk. He matched into Pathology at the University of Minnesota. It is a 4 year anatomical/clinical pathology program beginning July 2011.
Jason Talbott, M.D., Ph.D. - May 2007
Upon graduation, Dr. Talbott began his Radiology Residency at the University of California, San Francisco. He is the Chief Resident for 2011.
James Massey, M.D., Ph.D. - May 2008
Dr. Massey completed a transitional year at Akron General and is now participating in a combined Radiology/Neuroradiology fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic. The Cleveland Clinic has agreed to allow him to continue work on projects with labs at several universities that have developed from his thesis project.
Kelby Napier, M.D., Ph.D. - May 2008
Dr. Napier joined the University of Louisville's Graduate Medical Education residency program after graduation. He is currently participating in a radiology residency at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Washington University in St. Louis.
Stephen Reeves, M.D., Ph.D. - May 2008
Soon after graduating, Dr. Reeves began working as a resident physician at the University of California, San Diego, Department of Pediatrics. After completing his residency, he began his fellowship with Seattle Children's Hospital at the University of Washington in Pediatric Pulmonology/Respiratory Medicine. The program is roughly 1/3 clinical and 2/3's research and he was very excited to match with his first choice.
B. Frazier Taylor, M.D., Ph.D. - May 2009
Dr. Taylor matched with Yale-New Haven Hospital/Yale University radiation oncology training program. It is a four-year clinical program, following the PGY-1 year.
Christina Clark, M.D, Ph.D. - May 2010
Dr. Clark matched at University of Cincinnati for preliminary internal medicine and at Geisinger Health Systems in rural Danville, Pennsylvania for diagnostic radiology, where research is encouraged and significant research support is on site.
W. Lee Titsworth, M.D., Ph.D. - May 2010
Dr. Lee Titsworth's graduate work focused on blocking phospholipase activity after spinal cord injury. He was an invited speaker at the National MD/PhD Annual Conference and the Kentucky Spinal Cord and Head Injury Research Trust Symposium. Dr. Titsworth's clinical interest during medical school focused on the use of intraoperative MRI in pediatric neurosurgery. He was a junior inductee into AOA and graduated Cum Laude with a Norvin Green Memorial Prize for best thesis. He has since joined the competitive Neurosurgical residency program at the University of Florida/ Shands Medical Center in Gainesville, FL. His current research interest focuses on utilization of mobility, infection control, and hospital epidemiology in critically ill neurosurgical patients. Dr. Titsworth plans to pursue a career in academic pediatric neurosurgery fostering his love of teaching and desire to work with pediatric neuropathology. Lee is married, with two young children.
Maria A. Barnes, M.D., Ph.D. - May 2011
After graduation, Dr. Barnes will be a resident in an integrated pediatrics/research track at The Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, New York. Research and clinical training components are integrated in various constellations of five to six years' duration to maximize the acquisition of clinical competence with minimal compromise of the continuum of laboratory research development.
