2017 Aug 30

Sean Farrell of Yardley and other student members of Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine's Christian Medical & Dental Association organized an Aug. 29 event with a Geisinger Commonwealth alumnus, who spoke about her experiences in missionary medicine. Samantha Conroy, M.D., a member of Geisinger Commonwealth's Class of 2014, not only shared her experiences working overseas during residency, but she also discussed her decision to participate in a two-year post residency program through Samaritan's Purse. She will be part of the family medicine faculty at Kijabe Hospital in Kenya. Dr. Conroy, who will assume the position in January 2018 after three months of language training, said she looks forward to training Kenyan residents and getting the opportunity to practice internationally. After receiving her M.D. degree from Geisinger Commonwealth, Dr. Conroy completed her residency in family medicine in Waco, Texas.
