What excites you about your residency/fellowship at Corewell Health? From the get go, the thing that drew me to Corewell Health in West Michigan was the people. I am excited to work with people who inspire me to be better and drive me to reach my goals. The hospital is absolutely gorgeous and works like a well-oiled machine! I am excited to grow in a place where I feel happy and safe and then take those positive vibes out into the world when I graduate.

What are your clinical interests? I am super interested in QI and clinical research, with leadership and hospital administration being a close second.

Hobbies: I am a self-proclaimed foodie and love to cook and pretend to be a food critic at every restaurant I go to. I also love hiking, kayaking, swimming, rock climbing and playing yard games with my nieces. I hope to ski more and complete a few races while in Michigan!

Justin Steele, MD

Hometown: White Hall, IL

Medical school: University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria

Why did you choose Spectrum Health for your residency/fellowship? I loved how welcoming the Program Director and Associate Program Director were, even before I received an interview! I completed a Med-Peds residency, so there are still a lot of questions of how we fit into PHM fellowships, but leadership here has been so supportive and proactive in ensuring I get Internal Medicine exposure. Furthermore, the fellowship is extremely customizable depending on your clinical interest. Not to mention, Helen DeVos Children's Hospital is an amazing tertiary medical center with so many resources for patients from all over Michigan.

What are your clinical interests? I'm interested in medical education, simulation and virtual reality, as well as Global Health.

Hobbies: I love playing Ultimate Frisbee, hiking, weight lifting, reading and playing video games! Grand Rapids luckily has plenty of beautiful hiking opportunities nearby and within a couple of hours!
