Graduates and Careers

With the broad-based experience of med-peds residency training, our graduates have pursued a wide variety of careers. One-fourth of our graduates have entered competitive fellowship programs to pursue subspecialty training; several have even pursued combined (adult and pediatric) fellowship positions. We are particularly proud of the large numbers of our graduates who participate in the medical education of students and/or residents. A substantial number of our graduates have full-time academic positions, while even more serve as clinical teachers, instructing medical students and residents in their offices. Our program frequently has graduates serve an additional year as a categorical chief resident as well. Names marked with an asterisk below are those that continue or have returned to practice at the University of Kentucky after completing their training.

Where are they now?
