Dr. Wipperman fell in love with VCFM on the interview trail as a medical student. She kept hearing about the broad scope of training that she was looking for in a residency program (OB, procedures, strong medicine, preparation for international or rural practice) as well as the fantastic group of residents and faculty with a heart for service. She is also interested in evidence based medicine, health literacy, and dermatology.
