Meet Our Chief Residents

	Brian Cain An Ohio Native, Brian was born in Middletown, Ohio, and grew up in the Columbus suburb of Westerville. Brian completed his undergrad at Miami University (Ohio) with a degree in chemistry. He attended medical school and completed his residency in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at Ohio State. The unique strength of both the internal medicine and pediatrics programs drew him to staying at Ohio State to complete his residency. Seeing the supportive and friendly interaction among residents also attracted him to OSU. During residency Brian traveled to Indonesia twice on medical relief trips. The trips focused on providing relief to victims of the Tsunami in 2004 and an earthquake in 2006. Brian and his wife, Karin, are the proud parents of a new baby girl, Caroline. When he is not spending time with his family and friends, he enjoys golfing and is actively involved in his church. Brian plans to pursue a career in primary care practicing both internal medicine and pediatrics. You can contact Brian at: Brian.Cain@osumc.edu
	Mike Donnally Mike was born and grew up in Gallipolis, Ohio. He studied Exercise Physiology at Ohio State University and later attended Medical School at the Medical College of Ohio. He could not wait to get back to Ohio State and be around his friends and beloved Buckeyes. He was attracted to the "independence of the residents" and the "high quality education" the program could provide. He has performed research on the use of Cardiac MRI in acute coronary syndromes and in the role of Cardiac Imaging in Stem Cell Transplantation. In his spare time he enjoys golfing, spending time with his friends, and watching the Buckeyes. He will be completing a fellowship in Cardiovascular Medicine at Ohio State after he completes his chief resident year. You can contact Mike at: Michael.Donnally@osumc.edu
	Sara Horst Sara was born and grew up in Bryan, Ohio (home of the Dum Dum sucker and Etch-A-Sketch!) and studied chemistry at Ohio Northern University.  She then attended medical school at The Ohio State University where she decided to stay for her Internal Medicine residency.  During her time at Ohio State, she collaborated with the surgical oncology department doing clinical research and was able to help write two papers* that were published in the past 3 years.  She is now a Chief Resident and will continue her career in the Gastroenterology fellowship program at Vanderbilt University. * Xiao J, Horst S, Hinkle G, Cao X, Kocak E, Fang J, Young D, Khazaeli M, Agnese D, Sun D, and Martin Jr, E.

Meet Some of our Housestaff

	Donnie Zoz Donnie was born and raised in Cincinnati and studied Molecular Biology at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN.  He moved closer to home for medical school at The Ohio State University, and - as you can see from this Match Day picture - was extremely excited to be staying in Columbus with his wife, Jessica.  "I really came to like all that the program had to offer as I spent time rotating through as a medical student.  When I went on my residency interviews, I couldn't find a place that offered all of the things I can to expect from OSU, such as outstanding subspecialty training, a wonderful diversity of learning environments, and extremely devoted housestaff and faculty." In his free time, Donnie enjoys spending time with his wife and two kids, Toby and Annie (both of the four-legged variety), cooking and traveling.  After his residency, Donnie will be entering fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Vanderbilt.
	Andrew Twehues Andy grew up in Williamstown, KY, a small rural town in Northern Kentucky.  He studies Biology and then attended medical school, both at the University of Kentucky.  While interviewing for residency positions, Ohio State stood out as not only an excellent place to train, but a resident-friendly institution as well.  Andy stated, "It is clear the ultimate goal is to provide top tier training while also treating patients with compassion and dignity." Columbus was also instrumental in his decision.  "Columbus has a collegial atmosphere with many parks, festivals and cultural events, all with a small town feel." In his free time, Andy enjoys biking, golfing, and canoeing and almost any other outdoor activity.  Andy will be staying at OSU to continue his training in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine.
	Grace Wu Grace went to the University of Alabama at Birmingham for undergrad, where she was a biology major, and also for medical school.  When applying to residency for medicine/pediatrics, Grace felt it was important she train at an institution other than her medical school to get a different perspective on the practice of medicine.  She interviewed across the country and was impressed by many programs.  "I felt that Ohio State University was the best fit for me.  I found the faculty to be approachable and the the housestaff to be self-motivated, intelligent and collegial.  And in spite of everyone's obsession over OSU football, Columbus seemed like a comfortable city to live in." Grace is unsure of what she wants to do post residency.  In her spare time, she reads medical journals and textbooks (just kidding!).  She enjoys cooking, reading, and being outdoors.
	Anish Amin and Emily Norder Anish describes himself as a born and bred buckeye. He grew up in a Columbus suburb and found home at OSU. Here, he completed undergraduate work in economics.  Meanwhile, only miles away from his hometown, Emily started a journey which would allow her to study biology at Pennsylvania State University.  Anish and Emily completed there education at “The” Ohio State University and matched as a couple in 2006.    “Having been a student here [OSU] gave us a high regard for the subspecialty structure. Spending a month immersed in a single specialty allows a complete and more efficacious educational experience.  Adding to that is an OSU culture founded on compassionate, genuine and interesting personalities. It’s the kind of place where faculty and residents work together seamlessly. When you put it all together it’s easy to see that OSU is a special place.” While not at work, Anish and Emily enjoy BBQs (Anish is, after all, a local celebrity, “Grillmaster” was the description used) and yard games that follow (Bocce, or Cornhole).  If there’s time, they also like to ski, canoe/kayak and have recently found a new hobby in houseboating - all of which are activities that can be easily pursued within hours of Columbus. Lastly, if there was ever any doubt, fall brings out the best in everyone as it’s football season and you can’t find two more enthusiastic supporters.                                                                  O-H-I-O!
