Class of 2012

	Richard Blalock, M.D. Medical School: Morehouse School of Medicine
	Chad Coe, MD Medical School: Wayne State University After spending the first four months of my life in a South Korean orphanage, I spent the rest of my childhood in the small town of Fenton, Michigan. From there, I didn't travel too far from home to spend time at Michigan State for undergraduate, and Wayne State in Detroit for medical school. In my spare moments away from medicine, you can find me either playing sports (right now it's golf which is going horribly) or, when it's the right time of year, in East Lansing taking in a Michigan State football or basketball game. Outside of that, I'm up for a night out with friends, or outdoors enjoying everything West Michigan has to offer.
	Matthew Gale, M.D. Medical School: Michigan State University - CHM I was born in  Franklin, MI, traveled to Princeton for my undergraduate degree in Molecular Biology before returning to Michigan and MSU for my medical degree. In my spare time I love camping, backpacking, cooking, baking, gardening, reading, and playing guitar.
	Adam Will, M.D. Medical School: Indiana University I was born in Monroeville, IN and attended Indiana State for my undergrad before attending Indiana University from medical school. I love spending time with time with my twin kids Noah and Abigail, grilling, gardening and reading (non-medical when I can). One of my favorite things to do, and primarily a free activity, is to debate hot topics in political science, just for the sake of arguing.

Class of 2011

	Belen Amat-Martinez, M.D. Medical School: Universidad Panamericana, Mexico My name is Belen, and I was born and raised in Mexico City, Mexico. I attended the Universidad Nuevo Mundo for my undergraduate degree, and Universidad Panamericana for my medical degree. I am now in Grand Rapids, Michigan learning the American medical system, and adjusting to life in the United States. When I have the spare time, I enjoy outdoor activities, going to the movies, reading and dancing.
	Matthew Gormley, M.D. Medical School: Wayne State University I grew up in the thumb of Michigan, in a small town called North Branch. I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2002, the same year my wife and I were married. I attended Wayne State University School of Medicine, having just graduated this past May. In my free time (when I have it), I enjoy backpacking/hiking, camping, biking, gardening, and hunting. I'm willing to try any outdoor sport as both my wife and I love the outdoors! Last fall we completed a 22 mile backpacking trip through the Porcupine Mountains in the Upper Peninsula. It was awesome! We are expecting our first child in December and are looking forward to more exciting adventures! :)
	Kristin Hawkes, M.D. Medical School: Eastern Virginia Medical School I was born in San Antonio, Texas and spent a good portion of my life there. I attended the University of Maryland where I obtained a bachelors in Microbiology before attending Eastern Virginia Medical School where I obtained my Masters in Biomedical Sciences and my Medical Doctorate. In my spare time I love learning about other cultures. I have been learning to read and write in Japanese, and visiting art museums particularly those with French Impressionism works. Also love music and sang Alto in a medical school A Capella group called Neural Groove. I also play guitar and piano. I can’t wait to explore the arts and culture of West Michigan.

Class of 2010

	Susan Balmer, M.D. Medical School: Michigan State University - CHM Growing up in Marquette, located in the upper peninsula of Michigan, I was very active in music. In fact, my other career aspiration for when I'm not on call is I love playing my violin and viola.

	Anna Weiss, M.D. Medical School: East Carolina University School of Medicine I was born and raised in North Carolina, attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for undergrad., then the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. I enjoy everything outdoors. Prior to coming to Grand Rapids, I worked as a Professional Ballroom Dance Instructor! :) I now live downtown with the love of my life . my furry, four-legged child, Isabella.
