Faculty and Resident Comments

Sharon K. Kanelos, MD: "I came to Carolinas Rehabilitation as a resident because of the strong, energetic, and enthusiastic faculty as well as a top notch program. Carolinas Rehabilitation is a community based program with the feel of a major academic center. I chose to stay at as a faculty member after graduation for several reasons. I truly enjoyed the faculty under which I trained, and felt that they were a strong asset to the field of PM&R. I was also able to find a perfect fit for the type of practice that I wanted to establish. Moreover, I enjoy teaching and this setting provides me an opportunity to not only improve patients lives, but to also help teach future clinicians." Carolinas Rehabilitation

Vu Q. C. Nguyen, MD: "I came here as a resident because it was the best program in the Southeast. The level of dedication to the program by the faculty is unparalleled. Each resident is viewed as a unique gem with great brilliance just waiting to be polished. I chose this faculty job over others because I feel there is a special chemistry here. I am at home with this group of people. They are my mentors, pupils, colleagues, and friends."

Sonya G. Rissmiller, MD: "I came to Carolinas Rehabilitation for my residency because of it’s reputation, and because I had an immediate sense of acceptance and familiarity when I interviewed. The faculty is diverse in their interests, yet cohesive as a group. I feel privileged that I can now call them my colleagues, and that I now am involved in teaching the residents. I am amazed each year when we greet our new residents. Just when I think we’ve found the best ones, a new group appears that is every bit as dynamic as the group before. I couldn’t imagine a better group of faculty or residents!"
