Current Residents

Mary E. "Molly" Burgoyne, MD

Medical school: University of Maryland

The reason I was drawn to York's family medicine program was hands down the people who make up the program. I was able to feel welcomed by the residents even over the virtual meet and greets during interview season.

I was also encouraged by the culture of respecting family medicine at York Hospital. Coming from a medical school where I did not feel that family medicine was treated well within the hospital by other specialties, it was good to hear that family medicine had a good relationship with other specialties at York.

Last, but not least, Dr. Robert was really a driving factor in my residency program decision. She is a passionate advocate for her residents and has created a program that emphasizes the importance of resident wellness as well as resident education. The down to earth, collegial atmosphere she has fostered here is a major selling point for this program.

The most important reason I chose York family medicine residency is because I liked the people. Throughout the interview process I saw how much the people in the program seemed to respect each other and enjoy being around each other. In the time I have been here so far, that has held true. People here are compassionate and dedicated to providing good care for our patients. The program is also really supportive and there is always someone around who is willing to help if needed.

I chose York for the amazing people, full spectrum family medicine training including solid inpatient and pediatric exposure, and opportunity to mentor medical students in a community hospital atmosphere.

The people at York are genuinely the most welcoming and warm people you will meet. Everyone from your fellow residents to your attendings really look out for each other.

The training and instruction from other residents and attendings is fantastic. Family medicine is highly respected and valued at our hospital. This is so important especially during your first-year rotations in various specialties. York offers a learning environment in which you feel comfortable asking questions as you foster your skills as a new resident. All attendings are extremely approachable and always willing to help.

There are no pediatric residents at York. So as family medicine residents, you are the primary peds team. This is great training exposure, which I did not see at other residency programs. I am so happy I chose York and couldn’t imagine training anywhere else.

The people are the number one reason that I chose York. The residents and faculty are so supportive and we all genuinely like being around each other. This creates an environment that makes coming to work fun and makes the difficult days a little bit easier. The program also provides a broad educational experience with plenty of elective time to cater to any specific areas of interest you may have.

Adelino J. Rodriguez Rocha, MD

Medical school: Universidad Iberoamericana

What I like the most is the support and how well cared for I feel in the service. There’s always somebody nearby to extend a hand if you need help or just to talk. I also like the comprehensive educational program that works toward improving as physician and as a human being caring for others.

Patrick M.J. Sajak, MD, MS

Medical school: University of Maryland

I chose the York family medicine residency because of the people and the broad educational experiences the program offers.

Jesse A. Urich, DO

The biggest reason for me was the residents. It was apparent the residents had close relationships with each other, which resonated with me and drew me to the program.

I love that I am never alone, especially as a new intern. All of the faculty and residents are so willing to help you and truly love teaching.

Hyun J. Kim, MD

Medical school: University of Maryland

I chose York for family medicine residency because it was clear to me that this residency was truly a family. Everyone is kind and welcoming and always supports one another. I know I can go to anyone with questions about medicine or life in general. I feel that this residency program has my back.

Julia Y. Li, DO

Medical school: Midwestern University College of Osteopathic Medicine - Chicago

I chose York because I felt like a priority. I am supported and heard. My education and opinion matter.

Joshua J. Malerich, MD

Medical school: SKMC at Thomas Jefferson University

As a fourth-year medical student, I had the opportunity to rotate at the York family medicine program. It was immediately apparent that from Dr. Robert to the faculty and the residents, this is a program that cares about its residents and will tailor opportunities to help them grow.

The environment is supportive and affirming, the new facility offers more possibilities for our patients, and the learning environment is exactly what I was looking for during my three years at WellSpan.

Andrea M. Nale, MD

Medical school: Geisinger Commonwealth

York is situated in the most perfect place; it’s a more suburban atmosphere with multiple cities (Baltimore, DC, Philly) just a short drive away. I love how close my co-intern class is and how we all support each other through the good times (and the tough times).

Bora Park, DO

Medical school: University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine

I chose the York family medicine residency mainly because of the people. Given how challenging residency can be, who you work with makes a difference. The faculty, residents and staff in the family medicine program feel like a family. I enjoy working and spending time with them. I was also drawn to the strong global health track.

Cristie L. Staples, DO

Medical school: Liberty University College of Osteopathic Medicine

I was looking for a supportive environment where I can become the best doctor I can be for my patients. This program has everything I was looking for. It’s an established program with knowledgeable and caring leaders, a global health program, professionalism, positive atmosphere and helpful team members.

The clinic design is superior and shows the experience and care of our leaders. We use the Epic electronic medical record system. The community is nice and convenient to anything you would need or want. It’s a great place to live and learn.

Ashley H. Yuen, MD

Medical school: University of Maryland

I chose York family medicine residency because it was where I felt most at home (despite never having been to York before). At every step of the interview process it was abundantly clear to me that both the York family medicine residency and WellSpan York Hospital have an incredibly friendly, supportive culture where I could thrive despite the challenges of residency.

The family medicine residency at WellSpan York also has a strong reputation and presence within the hospital and the local community, which was an important factor for me as I was ranking residency programs. As someone interested in community health, medical education, faculty development and full spectrum family medicine, I believe that York has the elements that I am looking for in a training program: a diverse patient population with complex needs, unopposed pediatrics, strong procedural training in women's health and dermatology, opportunities to contribute to medical education and collaboration with other residencies in a teaching and community hospital setting.

Finally, York was a great place to be for me — it's not only close to my home in Maryland, but also an up-and-coming city itself with very impressive restaurants, charming coffee shops and food or flea markets, and low cost of living. I love it here so far and sincerely hope you join our program.

Julian F. Antal, DO

Medical school: Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine

I had a fantastic time during my rotation here as a fourth-year medical student. Everyone here is super nice, and it is a very positive work environment. I really felt that education was prioritized here and that by coming here I would get excellent training in family medicine.

Edwin H. Kimko, MD

Medical school: Tulane University

I chose York family medicine for several reasons. It has a strong reputation within the medical community with its patient-centered care and comprehensive, supportive training. The curriculum covers all the bases, and you can be as involved as you want if you have a special interest in a particular field.

The location was also a draw for me as I was looking to join a smaller community after living in several larger cities. However, Baltimore, Philly, and D.C. are within comfortable driving distance if I feel the need to go. I have really enjoyed my time here so far and look forward to what the next few years may bring!

Diego A. Lasso Jr., DO

Medical school: Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine

The people. Everyone is super supportive and kind and provide a great environment for learning. People also are enjoying their work and are fun to be around.

Gregory K.J. Logan, DO

Medical school: Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine - Erie

I chose York Family Medicine because of the inviting atmosphere that I observed during my interview and touring process. All the residents were extremely kind, welcoming, and immediately made me feel at home. When meeting the various attendings, I felt that they took great interest in getting to know who I am, my interests, and where I would like to take my career in family medicine.

I enjoy all of the different opportunities there are for growth in multiple areas at York, such as global health, pediatrics and sports medicine. There is obvious investment and dedication into the profession of family medicine as demonstrated by the brand-new Thomas Hart Family Medicine Clinic.

Adair M. McCabe, DO, MA

Medical school: Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine

I did an audition rotation at York and immediately knew this was the place I wanted to be. The best way I can describe the program is homey. The biggest thing that stood out to me was how genuinely kind and happy the people were here —from the attendings, residents and nursing staff to the office and janitorial staff.

When it comes to patient care and teamwork throughout the program and hospital, they really do place a heavy emphasis on the golden rule of treating others the way you would want to be treated. I am so happy to be here.

Natalia P. Mullins, MD

Medical school: Universidad de Iberoamerica

Where to start? I wanted a program that had global health exposure as this is what I would like to do at some point in my career. Also, the average board scores from this program gave me a good objective measure of what level of training I would get.

Additionally, the vibe I felt from the residents and faculty during interviews made me feel at home and confident that I would enjoy my three years of residency surrounded by warm and friendly people (I was not wrong). Finally, the location was perfect for me and my family: small city but close enough to big cities.

Joshua A. Snyder, DO

Medical school: Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine

WellSpan York Hospital felt like the perfect fit for me. During my interview, I could tell this program put time and effort into learning about me as an applicant. I had wonderful conversations with Dr. Robert and others, as if I was talking to my lifelong friends.

There is also a supportive and friendly environment here, which naturally drew me to this program. After visiting during a second look and experiencing the amazing faculty, staff and residents, I knew that WellSpan York was where I wanted to be.

Miaoqi Zhang, DO

Medical school: Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine - Middletown

I chose York family medicine because this program provides a truly supportive and loving environment for residents to learn and reach their fullest potential.
