I found the attendings on CTACC (I worked with Dr. Estroff, Dr. Sarani, & Dr. Kartiko primarily) to be some of the most consistently fair, respectful attendings and educators I've worked with. They all made me feel very respected and positively-challenged in my roles and capabilities as a medical student. I also learned an incredible amount from Mia Griffin (PA-C), who ran through a session of "Mia's Trauma Bay Orientation" with us students which was incredibly helpful in understanding what is going on during a trauma activation.

"Dr. Spencer and Dr. Ferriby are phenomenal block directors. They did a wonderful job at sequentially laying out the difficult content matter in a way that was digestible, and also provided regular opportunities to reinforce what we were learning. It was also very apparent that both Dr. Spencer and Dr. Ferriby are incredibly empathetic and very socially and culture aware. They consistently went out of their way to be mindful and bring awareness to the social and cultural implications of the subject matter. The MSK block was very well-done overall, and I think it can be attributed fully to the amazing block directors.”

"Dr. Farhi is my PPS mentor. I've never seen a physician show so much respect for each and every person in the room, nor had I seen one very politely point out the importance of listening to the material in PPS. Dr. Farhi clearly is working to uphold excellence in both the science of medicine as well as its art of connecting and healing humans. She truly empowers many of us, and that seems to be the general consensus. I've been so impressed by how she interacts with us, and she deserves to be shouted out for this."

Dr. Flavia Cuestas-Quiroz, Pediatrics Resident - Sinai Hospital of Baltimore
"Flavia was so kind and genuine the first day I met her. I was supposed to be in Nursery and she was the NICU resident at the time. Because there was not a nursery resident, she gladly allowed me to follow her and though she was busy, she continuously took the time to explain what she was doing. She kept me engaged and involved and simply treated me like a friend. When I was on Inpatient peds, she was on the floor with me. She was intentional about helping me learn, encouraging me to read on certain topics etc. I would say that people try and be nice and kind, but Flavia is truly genuine. She is also so smart, and I learned so much from her. Because of her genuine behavior, you could really see that reflected in the way she would interact with kids and their parents. One memorable moment was when she bent down beside this patient's bed who was very sick due to chemotherapy. You could see that she cared. She is going to be a great attending."

She is a strong advocate and will go to war for her patients. Dr. Kartiko is the kind of surgeon I aspire to me."
Dr. Julie Jacobstein, Faculty, Obstetrics & Gynecology - GWU
“Dr. J did an amazing job leading RMC's first OBGYN rotation.

Dr. Beri Massa-Buck, Neonatologist, GW NICU/Children’s National Medical Center
“Dr. Massa-Buck had to cover well child nursery for a few days, shifting over from the NICU because of travel issues that delayed the regularly scheduled attending. On Day 1, she had just come off a 24hr shift, had a new team of interns, and no fellow, yet still made myself and the other medical student feel important, valued, and like integral parts of the nursery team. In spite of it all she also found time to teach! She did it all with grace and I never heard her complain about the situation once. Beri set an amazing example of how to navigate a difficult day and how to create a nurturing environment that promoted student growth and learning.” - June 2023

Dr. Mary Matecki, Resident, General Surgery
“Mary did an amazing job with my peers and I getting us acquainted and oriented to life in the clinical years. She gave us a tour of the hospital we were going to be at for the next 4 weeks and provided more of an orientation than we got from the site's medical education office/attendings, who just told us to figure it out. More importantly, she set clear expectations about what to expect from each day and each week and outlined how to be successful. It made the experience a lot less stressful, especially at a community site where there are no other students to 'phone a friend,' and it made my surgery clerkship experience that much better. Thank you for taking the time out of your day Mary to help some lost MS3s!!”
Dr. Ainsley Hughes, Resident, OB/GYN
“Dr. Hughes' commitment to our education extended beyond our individual experiences. She ensured that every student she worked with had equal access to learning opportunities.

Dr. Rob Young, General Surgery Resident

They promoted a very strong and comfortable learning environment where a medical student could both be wrong and have some input into the clinical care of patients. They made sure to explain pathophysiology as well as clinical judgement for a vast majority of our mutual patients, and were incredibly approachable. They are the gold standard of teaching fellows." - March 2023

Dr. Paul Lin, MD, FACS
"Dr. Lin devotes an incredible amount of time to my clinical education. He spends 3-4 hours every Saturday teaching us about the patients, going over every detail of the case, takes us through radiologic images, and demands that I express my thoughts, even if they are wrong. This has been very instructive to me on how I should be critically thinking about my patients. I feel more prepared for fourth year and beyond."
Dr. Emily Nuss, PGY 1 Obstetrics and Gynecology
"During my time on L&D, Emily was a wonderful teacher and role model. While learning herself and navigating new situations (gracefully and thoughtfully!), she still took the time to ensure that my experience as a student was engaging and positive. It was clear that patients trusted her and felt supported by her; her patients are lucky to have her!"
Dr. Ryan Salemme, Resident Internal Medicine
"Ryan is one of the best people I've worked with all year. He cares not only about his patients, but about the interns and medical students on his team too. He is a great educator and really cares about making sure students are learning the entire time they are at the hospital. I really could not ask for a better senior resident."
Dr. Sara Rahman, Attending Obstetrics and Gynecology
"Dr. Rahman was one of the most inspiring and welcoming physcians I worked with this year. Observing the way she interacts with and cares for her patients served as a great model for patient-centered care.
