Tyronda Rogers recently was selected as one of three in the nation to serve as an at-large member of the Association of Residency Administrators (ARAS), the first position of its kind in the organization’s history. Rogers serves as a program coordinator for the general surgery residency and critical care fellowship at the Frederick P. Whiddon College of Medicine.

“I am so grateful to be selected to serve in this position,” Rogers said. “My goal is to be supportive of other incoming coordinators and bring sound, merited recognition to our general surgery and fellowship program at the Whiddon College of Medicine.”

In this role, Rogers is responsible for coordinating town hall meetings with the executive committee of ARAS, establishing relationships with administrators in the region, and providing reports to the organization as a whole.

Brianne Nickel, president of ARAS, said, “We were enthusiastic to see Tyronda’s application to the position. She was highly recommended, and we look forward to seeing her contributions to our organization.”
