Natalie Albright, MD

Medical School: Emory University

I chose Hopkins because I immediately felt at home with the people. On interview day, everyone was genuine, supportive, and clearly invested in one another's success, and I knew it was a place where I would thrive. Combined with exceptional surgical training, endless research and leadership opportunities, and a commitment to advocacy with a diverse patient population, Hopkins was everything I was looking for in a residency program.

Olivia Babick, MD

Medical School: University of Maryland

I knew Hopkins is where I wanted to be on Interview day because I could see the genuine relationships the residents had with each other and the attendings. I loved watching them interact and knew that they were people I could really enjoy being with. I really wanted the opportunity to work with attendings who are on the ground floor of innovative surgeries and new treatments, and I saw a lot of that in Hopkins.

Priyanka Devaguptapu, MD

Medical School: University of Florida

I chose Hopkins for my residency training because, from my very first interactions with the program, I found a community with welcoming residents, faculty dedicated to teaching, and a collaborative culture. As someone who hopes to build a career in academic medicine, I was drawn to Hopkins' commitment to weaving education, mentorship, and curiosity into everyday clinical practice. I am so excited to learn from Baltimore's diverse communities while growing alongside my inspiring co-residents, our faculty mentors, and the incredible interdisciplinary teams we have the privilege of working with.

Samya El Sayed, MD

Medical School: American University of Beirut

Over the past two years, I have had the privilege of conducting research in Gynecology and Obstetrics at Johns Hopkins. During that time, I was continually inspired by the talent, dedication, and kindness of everyone I worked with and their steadfast commitment to their patients, learners, and each other. I could also feel a genuine sense of love and community among the residents, faculty, and program leadership, as well as their intentional commitment to fostering a safe and supportive learning environment for all. Combined with the exceptional breadth of clinical training across every facet of obstetrics and gynecology and the endless opportunities for academic exploration and personal growth, I knew Hopkins was where I wanted to train.

Juliana Greene, MD

Medical School: Jacobs School of Medicine at University of Buffalo

I chose Johns Hopkins for residency because I was seeking a program that offered world-class clinical training while serving a diverse patient population and prioritizing health equity. During my interview, I was struck by the genuine camaraderie among the residents and the pride they took in caring for the Baltimore community. Their passion for their work and for each other made it clear that Hopkins was a place where I could grow both professionally and personally. I knew that training here would prepare me to become not only an outstanding OB/GYN, but also a compassionate advocate, dedicated researcher, and lifelong champion for improving access to high-quality healthcare.

I chose Johns Hopkins because it had everything I was looking for in a residency program: exceptional clinical and surgical training with a high-volume, diverse patient population, and the opportunity to care for the Baltimore community that I call home. I was drawn to Hopkins' commitment to developing leaders in the field, emphasizing research and advocacy. Even more I valued the program's supportive and collaborative culture I saw on interview day and am so excited to be a part of the Hopkins family!

Gabriela Nisly, MD

Medical School: Duke University

I chose Johns Hopkins because it felt like the right place both professionally and personally. I was drawn to the incredible clinical training and strong research opportunities, but I was equally excited by the chance to serve the Baltimore community and help improve access to care for the people who live here. On top of that, Baltimore is one of my favorite cities in the world, and being close to my strong support network of family and friends made Hopkins feel like home.

Sergine Cindy Zeufack, MD, MS

Medical School: University of California San Francisco

I chose Hopkins for residency because it felt like the perfect place to learn with and from phenomenal physicians while exploring my interests in health disparities, global health, and community engagement. I feel so fortunate to train in my home state of Maryland close to my family and friends, while working to support racially, ethnically, and socioeconomically diverse patients. Hopkins has an exceptional legacy of mentoring and guiding residents to thrive, and I can't wait to see how this program shapes me for the better!
