NCH Welcomes New Medical Residents for Summer 2025

Naples Comprehensive Health (NCH) is proud to announce the addition of 16 new residents to its Internal Medicine Residency Program, comprising the Class of 2028. Additionally, NCH will welcome six new residents into its Transitional Year Residency Program in July.

The Transitional Year Program is a one-year training experience designed to provide a strong clinical foundation for physicians pursuing advanced specialty residencies. Both residency cohorts were selected as part of the nationwide Match Day on March 21, 2025, and represent a diverse group of talented physicians from institutions across the country and around the world—from as close as our own state to as far away as India and Pakistan.
NCH has a longstanding commitment to medical education through its Graduate Medical Education (GME) program having started the program in 2017. The NCH GME program is supported by dedicated faculty, strong academic affiliations, and solid institutional backing.

“We are thrilled to welcome these exceptional new residents to NCH,” said Mark Rasnake, MD, (FEATURED PHOTO) Director, NCH Internal Medicine Program. “Their skills, dedication, and diverse backgrounds will further enhance the outstanding care we provide to our community.”

The arrival of these new residents underscores NCH’s ongoing commitment to medical education and excellence in patient care.
