Farewell, Residency Class of 2024!

This week, we say goodbye to the UW Department of Ob-Gyn Residency Class of 2024! Read more about where these brilliant physicians are headed after residency, what they’ll miss about Madison, and how their time here set them up for success in the future. Congratulations, Class of 2024!

India Anderson-Carter, MD:

Where will you be going and what will you be doing after UW Ob-Gyn? 

I will be staying in Madison and joining UW's Ob-Gyn department faculty in the Division of Academic Specialists in Ob-Gyn.

What was your proudest accomplishment during residency? 

My proudest accomplishment was being part of the resident DEI committee and getting our department to agree to fund/support resident representatives to attend conferences aimed at targeting our DEI initiatives!

How do you feel UW Ob-Gyn prepared you for success after residency? 

They molded me into the amazing physician I am today. I have them to thank for my excellent surgical skills, my medical knowledge base and so much more.

Any special shout-outs or thanks to faculty, staff, other residents who really shaped your time here? 

My co-residents for their support, encouragement and making my time here great; the department for investing in me; nurses, PAs, and APPs for their role in teaching me; all the other staff for helping me provide the best care to patients over the years! 

Alexandra Andes, MD:

Dr. Andes will depart for private practice at Association for Women's Health Care in Illinois.

Gabrielle Avery, MD:

Where will you be going and what will you be doing after UW Ob-Gyn?

I will be starting fellowship in Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery at the University of California - Irvine! 

What will you miss most about UW Ob-Gyn, Madison, and/or your time in residency? 

Definitely the people! My co-residents, fellows, attendings, nurses, and support staff – you all made a huge difference in my experience and hold a special place in my heart! Thank you! From Madison and Wisconsin, I'll miss a good Friday Fish Fry, the best farmer's market in the country, and the changes of the seasons.

Any special shout-outs or thanks to faculty, staff, other residents who really shaped your time here? 

Shout-out to my class of 2024 for becoming amazing doctors and surgeons, all while maintaining lives, relationships, and families outside of work. We did it!! Thank you to the URPS division for their unwavering support and cheerleading me through research and the fellowship application process. Thank you to the generalists and sub-specialist faculty for all your support, mentorship, insight, and commitment to making me better every day.

Kaley Gyorfi, MD:

Where will you be going and what will you be doing after UW Ob-Gyn?

I have accepted a general Ob-Gyn position at Kaiser Permanente in West Los Angeles.

How do you feel UW Ob-Gyn prepared you for success after residency?

I feel like this resident program prepared me very well in terms of obstetrics and benign gynecology. With our high surgical volume, I feel very ready to tackle difficult cases coming right out of residency.

What will you miss most about UW Ob-Gyn, Madison, and/or your time in residency?

I will miss my classmates and co-residents and fellows dearly, I will miss putting on a personal concert in any Swiftie attending's OR, and I will just miss this perfect city and the people in it. I feel extremely grateful to have trained here.

Any special shout-outs or thanks to faculty, staff, other residents who really shaped your time here?

Shout out to my classmates, I truly couldn't have picked a better group of 7 people to go through residency with. Thank you to ALL former and current co-residents as well, this group of people has felt like a second family for the last four years.
