Kristen Salava, MD
Medical school: Temple University School of Medicine
"I grew up in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, Pa. From there, I continued my education at Penn State University for undergraduate and then off to Temple University School of Medicine. From the time I first rotated as a medical student at Geisinger, I knew that it was a perfect fit. I wanted a program that was a combination of a large, academic medical center with exposure to a large volume of complex patients, but still had the benefits of a community-based atmosphere. The friendships and relationships I’ve formed during my 3 years here as a resident are going to be long-lasting; our program truly feels like a family. I’m excited to be one of the chief residents this academic year. I wish you luck during the application process. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions about our program."
Kinjal Banerjee, MD
Medical school: Medical College, Kolkata
"Hello. I’m excited to welcome you to Geisinger's Internal Medicine Residency program. I grew up in the large bustling metropolis of Kolkata, India, before moving to Cleveland, Ohio, and finally to Danville, Pa. Right from the beginning, I felt like I belonged at Geisinger. And over the past few years, that feeling has only intensified.
I spend much of my time with research, and Geisinger has allowed me to continue with my work. You will often find me sitting at a computer with a cup of coffee working on something or other. When I’m not working, you’ll find me out and about —whether that’s exploring the beautiful landscape or grabbing a meal at one of the area’s many restaurants. Danville has become my home.
I’m excited to spend the next year as chief resident here. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions you may have about our program. I wish you the best of luck on your journey."
