Kellie Byrd
@kelliebyrd
Compassionate Physician Assistant dedicated to patient-centered care.
What I'm looking for
My journey into medicine began at a young age, inspired by my experiences with healthcare professionals during my great-grandfather's hospitalization. This pivotal moment ignited my passion for helping others, leading me to pursue a career as a Physician Assistant. I graduated with a Master of Medical Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Lincoln Memorial University, where I also participated in a medical mission to Peru, providing care to underserved communities.
Throughout my professional experience, I have worked in various clinical settings, including internal medicine and family medicine. My role as a Physician Assistant at Greeneville Community Hospital has allowed me to conduct comprehensive patient assessments, manage complex medical conditions, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure optimal patient care. I strive to treat each patient with kindness and respect, fostering relationships that go beyond mere clinical interactions.
My commitment to compassionate care drives me to continuously seek opportunities for growth and learning in the medical field. I believe that medicine is not just about treating illnesses but about building trust and understanding with patients. I am eager to bring my skills and dedication to a team that values patient-centered care and community service.
