A MEssage From Our ChiEfs

Welcome! As the chief residents for the 2024-2025 academic year, we take great pride in being part of this program and are excited to help lead you through this upcoming year.

To our auditioning and rotating students, we can’t wait to show you what makes our program amazing. Feel free to reach out to us about anything at swedishchief19@gmail.com. We are confident you’ll experience a wide variety of pathology and procedures during your rotation. We encourage you to take ownership of your patients and make the most of your time with us!

Training at Swedish Hospital offers a truly unique balance between academic and community medicine. You will be exposed to a wealth of pathology, cultural diversity and clinical experience that will prepare you to work in any future environment. Our alumni have gone on to practice all over the country ranging from large academic centers to underserved community sites. Many have pursued fellowships such as simulation medicine and toxicology. The breath of experiences here will prepare you for anything; we certainly feel it has for us.

We are fortunate to be part of a tight knit team of residents and faculty that has risen to the challenge of serving our diverse communities with compassion and humility. It is our honor to serve in this leadership role. We look forward to a great year!






Sincerely,

Kevin Liao, DO and Adam Van Handel, DO
