The UPMC Horizon Family Medicine Residency Program trains resident physicians in a small-town and rural environment to become family medicine practitioners. Located primarily at the Shenango Valley Family Medicine offices adjacent to UPMC Horizon, the residents and faculty treat patients across all ages in a variety of clinical settings, supported by a team of physicians, pharmacists, medical assistants, nurses, care managers, and behavioral health providers. The objective of the program is to provide training to resident physicians, offer family health care to local residents, and ultimately retain the residents as long-term practitioners in the region. Residents practice in the program for three years, with six new residents joining the program each year for a total of 18 physicians in the program at any given time.
The residency program recently announced its newest cohort of physicians, including Ricardo Backer, MD, Tanvi Bathla, MD, Nico Brown, DO, Nabeeha Essam, MD, Huda Mohammed Rasheed, and Noah Parker, DO.
UPMC Horizon also offers a General Surgery Residency, a five-year program which adds two resident physicians each year. The program is one of the oldest osteopathic residency training programs in the country, having been in operation since 1973. Residents take on patient responsibilities in their first year of the program, managing pre- and post-operative needs, rounding on patient units, and taking formal educational experiences.
The general surgery residency recently selected its two newest resident physicians, Anastasia Alberty, DO and Nicholas Mesropyan, DO, who will join the program in July.
Please join us in welcoming each of these doctors to the UPMC Horizon and Jameson system!
