Blair Spencer - Program Supervisor
Hi, my name is Blair. I was born here in Roanoke but grew up in Spotsylvania, VA. I moved back to the area in 2015 to be with my family after having adventures in Boston, Buffalo and Orlando. There is just something about the mountains that called me home. Working with the Internal Medicine Residency Program has helped me learn the importance of GME programs and how to be a liaison between the faculty, residents and medical students.
