Barbara Stokes

Barbara Stokes has been the program co or dinat or f or the Pediatric Residency Program f or quite some time. Barbara has taken on the challenge of being co or dinat or and has excelled. When candidates f or the residency program call she is the first person they reach. Her knowledge, pleasant attitude and positive outlook have helped everyone to put their “best face f or ward.” She transp or ts resident candidates to and from their hotels and to all of their appointments. Many times she must make maj or adjustments to the itinerary because the physician interviewers are so busy. Through all of this she makes the candidate feel like their day is running smoothly because she adjusts without fanfare or complaining. Barbara helps the candidates feel at home. She makes sure that nutrition and appropriate breaks are provided f or all candidates. Making the candidates feel at home is not small feat, because we have a large number of international medical graduates with strong traditions and food choices. Yet, Barbara makes them comf or table. ETSU is blessed to have such a person as Barbara.

Thank you, Barbara, f or being with us here at ETSU !
