Spartanburg Regional celebrates 42 graduates from residency, fellowship programs
Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System is pleased to congratulate more than 40 new physicians and providers who have completed their 2024 residency and fellowship programs.
Each of these graduates has successfully completed the education and certification necessary to become highly trained and qualified providers who will care for patients and make an impact in the various communities where they serve.
“This is always an exciting time of year for Graduate Medical Education. We are so very proud of our resident and fellow graduates! We love to watch them grow in their skills and confidence, and we always hate to see them leave,” said Angie Ayers, the director of Medical Education for Spartanburg Regional. “Fortunately for Spartanburg Regional and for the community, we have residents and fellows who choose to stay with our system, and still others who return after completing a fellowship, or working in another healthcare setting.
Below is a list of this year’s graduates. Please join us in celebrating their achievements and wishing them success as they use their gained wisdom, knowledge and experience to care for patients.
