Chief Residents

Sara Kiparizoska

Sara Kiparizoska Goodman, MD

University of Mississippi School of Medicine

I am originally from Macedonia and grew up in a small town in Mississippi, and I’d love to tell you about both beautiful places! I then attended Ole Miss and the University of Mississippi Medical School - Hotty Toddy! I am now one of the inpatient chiefs at Georgetown and I can’t imagine a better place to live and train. My professional interests include medical education and quality improvement. I am currently applying for a fellowship in gastroenterology with an interest in hepatology. On days off, you can find me trying to find the best Acai bowl in DC or most likely at a SolidCore class with my co residents Annie or Cassie.

Alex Luta

Alex Luta, MD

Georgetown University School of Medicine

I was born in Columbia, SC, spent my childhood in Chapel Hill, NC, and I finished middle school & high school in Bethesda, MD. I am a proud triple Hoya, having gone to Georgetown for college, medical school, and residency! As an undergraduate, my major was in government, and my minor was in theology. During my residency, I am grateful to have been a member of the Michael Adams Clinician Educator Track, served on the MedStar Health Physician Leadership Council, and engaged in healthcare advocacy on Capitol Hill. My interests include healthcare policy and innovation, and I hope to pursue a fellowship in Rheumatology. When I’m outside of the hospital, I enjoy exploring the DMV, playing tennis, traveling, and watching Jeopardy!

Harrison Winters

Harrison Winters, MD

Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine

I grew up in Fort Washington, PA, outside of Philadelphia. I received my undergraduate degree in Biology with a minor in Anthropology from Bucknell University. After working in a basic science and translational research laboratory after graduation, I pursued my medical degree at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine in Scranton, PA. (yes, where The Office was filmed!) I am excited to continue my career in Internal Medicine as one of the inpatient Chief Residents at Georgetown. My future plan is to specialize in Hematology/Oncology. I have interests in clinical research, biomarkers, and medical education. I enjoy taking selfies in front of the monuments, exploring local hiking trails, catching a show downtown, or road tripping to the beaches nearby

Jennifer Roper

Jennifer Roper, MD

Vanderbilt University School of Medicine

I grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee and received my undergraduate degree in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. I attended medical school at Vanderbilt University before joining my husband in DC for internal medicine residency. I am thrilled to stay on an additional year as the Ambulatory Chief Resident! I plan to pursue a career in Allergy & Immunology after my chief year. Outside of the hospital, I love going on runs throughout DC, camping, and exploring the DMV area!

Elahi Shabnam

Shabnam Elahi, MD

Georgetown University School of Medicine

I grew up in Connecticut and received my undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Pennsylvania. I attended medical school at Georgetown University, and was excited to have the opportunity to continue my training at Georgetown for Internal Medicine residency. I am currently one of the inpatient chief residents at the DC VA Medical Center, and plan to pursue a career in Allergy and Immunology. Outside of work, I enjoy playing soccer and trying new restaurants in DC!

Leanna Rucker

Leanna Rucker, MD

Georgetown University School of Medicine

I was born and raised in sunny Southern California, then later moved to New Orleans where I graduated from Xavier University of Louisiana, the nation’s only Catholic and historically black university. During undergrad, I studied Biology with a research interest in CRISPR gene editing. For my medical training, I moved to Washington, DC to attend Georgetown University School of Medicine. I was thrilled to continue at Georgetown for Internal Medicine residency and am currently serving as an inpatient chief resident at the DC VA Medical Center. I plan to pursue a career in the field of Gastroenterology/Hepatology with specific interests in advanced liver disease, clinician education, and social medicine. When I’m not at work, you can find me doing yoga or pilates, pet sitting, or shopping for tropical plants.
