| MEET OUR GW CHIEFS | |
|---|---|
Ryan Salemme, M.D. Grand Rounds and Medical Education
|
I'm Ryan, originally from Jamestown, NY, in the Buffalo area. I pursued my college education in Cell and Molecular Biology and Political Science at John Carroll University in Cleveland, OH. After that, I returned to Buffalo for medical school at the University at Buffalo. Following medical school, my partner Marc (now a psychiatry chief) and I couples matched to GW and I am currently serving as a chief resident. Next year, I'm planning to transition into a hospitalist role. In my free time, I enjoy running in D.C. and exploring the local restaurants. |

Kevin Chung, M.D. Ambulatory Curriculum and Elective Rotations
|
I grew up in the beautiful Pacific Northwest outside of Seattle, WA and studied Neuroscience at Pomona College in California. I spent my gap years working at a domestic violence shelter and addiction recovery program before completing my medical degree at the University of Washington School of Medicine. During my residency training at GW, I was a part of the primary care and HIV tracks. I’m excited to share my love for primary care as the ambulatory chief resident. My clinical interests include health equity, addiction medicine, and HIV medicine. After this year, I plan on practicing primary care in a medically underserved setting. Outside of work, I enjoy climbing, day-hiking, board gaming, and reading science fiction. |

Purven Parikh, M.D. |
Hello and Welcome! My name is Purven Parikh. I'm originally from Wethersfield, Connecticut, and I went to university at the University of Virginia before traveling back to my home state to complete my medical school at the University of Connecticut. I found myself in Washington, D.C., and soon after that, I was at G.W. I have enjoyed my time here ever since. Outside of work, I enjoy frequenting the area's unique coffee scene, hiking in and around Shenandoah National Park, and traveling the world with my wife. At work, I am one of the Quality and Safety Chiefs and the Scheduling Chief at the D.C. Veterans Affairs Medical Center, a unique hospital system caring for our nation's veterans. Welcome again to #GWIMRES; we're excited to have you! |
Jeffery Turley, M.D. |
I was born and raised in Long Beach, California, and attended UCLA for my undergraduate studies. During my time at UCLA, I played baseball and earned a degree in Geography and Environmental Studies. Following my undergraduate studies, I pursued my medical education at FIU in Miami and completed my residency at GW, where I currently serve as one of the Chief Residents and am in the process of applying for a Cardiology fellowship. Outside of medicine, I am an avid sports fan and enjoy traveling, exploring different cuisines, and playing trivia at local DC bars. |
