Chief Medical Residents

Purven Parikh, M.D.
VA Quality Improvement,
VA Wards Scheduling, VA Moonlighter Scheduling

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.
