Kent Grosh
Christine Kreider
Karl Oberg
Kent Grosh graduated from Villanova University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, but the idea of a career in medicine and service to others drew him to leave that field and begin a new career. He is now studying at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. As a physician, he hopes to transition from fixing mechanical systems to applying himself to understanding the intricacy of the human body’s systems and using that understanding to heal people.
Christine Kreider graduated from Eastern Mennonite University and is now studying at Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey. Her interest in developing creative health care solutions for patients has been nurtured by her involvement with LionCare, a student-run free clinic, as well as through her participation with the new patient navigation program for medical students with Lancaster General Health.
Karl Oberg graduated from the University of Scranton and is now in his final year of medical school at Jefferson Medical College. He hopes to practice in Lancaster County or in a rural area where there is a shortage of practitioners. In his practice, he would like to be able to build relationships and treat each of his patients in a holistic manner, taking into account their individual qualities, traits, and psychosocial makeup.
