GIM Bids Farewell to Three Graduating Fellows

Drs. Monique Tello, Fenny Lin and Crystal Wiley are completing their GIM Fellowships in June. These familiar faces in GIM are now moving on to positions at distinguished institutions where each of them will combine academic and clinical activities.
             

             
Dr. Monique Tello is joining Massachussetts General Hospital’s Women’s Health Associates, a primary care practice for women patients. She is looking forward to the opportunity this position affords her to see patients as well as to pursue investigative research and medical education projects, as her main clinical and research interest is in women’s health. Dr. Tello’s family lives in Boston, and she and her fiancé will be married there in December.

              
Dr. Fenny Lin will also be moving to Boston, where she has accepted a position as a clinician educator at Beth Israel-Deaconess Medical Center. She will be both seeing patients in clinic and precepting residents there. Dr. Lin hopes to continue pursuing her academic interests in faculty development programs and reflective practice, as well as the passion she discovered during her GIM Fellowship, storytelling. She, too, is already familiar with Boston, as she attended college there.

Dr. Crystal Wiley will be heading to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she will be an Assistant Professor (Clinician-Investigator) in the Division of General Internal Medicine. Her time will be spent conducting clinical research, seeing patients and precepting residents. She will also co-teach an elective for medical students on her own area of research, health disparities. Dr. Wiley will work with the Project GRACE (Growing, Reaching, Advocating for Change and Empowerment) Consortium, an established academic-community partnership whose goal is to eliminate health disparities in African American communities. She seeks to use a community-based participatory research framework to explore the role of "social context" in chronic disease prevention and management.

              
Congratulations to Drs. Tello, Lin and Wiley as they begin the next phase of their medical careers!
