Shirley Elfishawy, MD

Hometown: Detroit, Michigan

Hobbies/Interests: Being outside as much as possible (especially by the water!), hiking, camping, cooking new recipes with my friends, exploring breweries, traveling as much as possible, game nights with friends, reading (which usually means listening to audiobooks), working out in group fitness classes, playing pretty poorly at recreational softball

What I liked about the EVMS OBGYN residency program: I was looking for a high acuity, high volume academic program in both OB and GYN where I could learn from a tight knit, supportive group of people I looked up to and who advocated for their patients, and EVMS could not have fit that picture any better. I felt so excited by the interview and when I went to visit Norfolk to see it for myself, it was evident how genuinely kind and intelligent the group was. My partner and I couples matched, and we were looking to move to another part of the country, ideally by the water, so EVMS truly was the perfect fit!!
