Congratulations to WelcomeHealth Board Member Sheena Walia CarlLee on this wonderful feature! Dr. CarlLee does incredible work with the UAMS Internal Medicine Residency Program at Washington Regional Medical Center, and we're proud to see her work and leadership showcased.
We're fortunate to have her expertise, commitment to our community, and leadership on the WelcomeHealth Board. So well deserved, Dr. CarlLee!
After earning her medical degree from UAMS, Dr.Sheena CarlLee completed her residency at the University of Iowa, where she later served as chief resident and realized academic medicine was a true passion. When she returned to Arkansas to help design a new residency program in partnership with Washington Regional, she looked to the strengths of her own training program. “Making education the priority, first and foremost; open communication and a supportive work environment; a well-rounded curriculum, focusing on the physiology and disease processes; critical thinking; and advocating for patients to get the best care possible,” she details, became the foundation as CarlLee and her colleagues built the program from the ground up. “This was a team effort every step of the way. We have an amazing group of faculty leaders in this program, who each bring so much to the table and set an excellent example for our residents daily on how to be great physicians, great colleagues, and how to give back to our community.”
Get to know CarlLee in the August issue!
