Year 3
Bender, Melissa
Bio:
When applying to residencies, I focused on family medicine programs that have an international health component. I graduated from Indiana University School of Medicine and had lived only in the Hoosier State, so I decided to interview with programs mostly outside of Indiana. The Christ Hospital program has been a great fit for me, with the focus on International Health in all 3 years of residency and a good mix of community and university hospital experiences. Some of my other interests include women's health and Latino Health.

Bowen, Abby
Bio:
I grew up in Columbus,OH, went to college at the University of Dayton(where I majored in Spanish and Premedicine), and medical school here in Cincinnati. My medical interests include public health, preventative medicine, pediatrics, and women's health. I'd like to practice in an inner city clinic working with the underserved and also spend a good amount of time abroad. My "for fun" interests are hiking, back-packing, traveling, Latin American culture, reading, being involved at my church, watching college football(Go Bucks!), and finding new music of varied genres. I also have a dog named Mariposa Peligrosa (Spanish for dangerous butterfly), "Mari" for short, who I spoil. I chose this residency for the faculty and residents whom are really quality human beings, and the many opportunities to work with the underserved while getting an excellent education.

Warnick, Steve
Bio:
Steve grew up in Eastpointe, Michigan and went to the University of Michigan for undergrad and medical school (Go Blue!). Steve broke his promise to never live in Ohio after seeing all of the experiences that the UC/Christ Family Medicine program offered in terms of caring for underserved patients and learning about international health. He was most impressed by the amount of faculty who were passionate about caring for the medically underserved, the combined training in psychiatry, and the opportunities to interact with leaders in health policy. Steve loves to read, run, swim, watch college football, travel, and spend time with his wife Kelly and his cat Hobbes. He hopes that his Family Medicine and Psychiatry training will allow him to provide integrated care to challenging patients, advocate for patients through organized medicine and working on health policy, and work with residents and medical students on mental health and primary care issues.

Year 2
Badie, Nicole
Bio:
I came to Cincinnati with a desire to work in the best Children's Hospital and found the best international family program through my journey. I served as Co-Chair for AMSA and for the Peds Club at UC. I also volunteered my time working with underserved populations while in Cincinnati, and undertook IH/missions work, and have interest in further public health training. I trained as a classical pianist and have traveled extensively which helped develop my IH/ underserved drive. I have always had an interest in international health (IH) and find the UC Family Med Program to be a one-of-a-kind experience. Scheduled rotations and faculty can both share an international focus.

Sloop, Jay
Bio:
I graduated from Loma Linda U and have returned to residency after a residency and career in OB/Gyn for several years. Most recently I provided care at a clinic on Guam serving as the department chair. My wife, Christine, is also an OB.

Soliman, Peter
Bio:
I am originally from Egypt, where I attended medical school. I was always thinking about moving to the United States as I have many relatives here who are physicians, who encouraged me. I did one year of surgery at the University of Southern California, which I think was a very good experience. I like the people here in Cincinnati as they are very friendly and really care about you. Also the Christ Hospital is a wonderful hospital as it was chosen as one of the best 50 hospitals in USA. I like soccer, fixing machines, photography, and puzzles.
