Third Year Residents
Marian Fam, M.D.
Status: PGY-3 Medical School: Ross University School of Medicine I grew up in Northern California and received my undergraduate degree in interdisciplinary health and rehabilitation sciences from California State University Fresno. I earned my medical degree from Ross University School of Medicine. While in medical school, I met my husband, and we are now both fellow residents at Aultman. My husband’s family's roots in Ohio is what lead me to discover Aultman. During my interview, the impression that I developed was that of an inviting and committed faculty and staff, residents who are tight-knit, and a very well-organized program. I am happy to have matched at Aultman, a program that will successfully train me to become a knowledgeable and well-rounded physician. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to join the Aultman family. I was drawn to family medicine because of the broad scope of knowledge in this specialty and the ability to establish deep connections with patients. Although I am dedicated to full-spectrum care, my particular interests within family medicine include behavioral health and medically underserved populations. Outside of medicine, I love spending quality time with my husband and family, traveling, and taking nature photography.

C.J. Fike, M.D.
Status: PGY-3 Medical School: Northeast Ohio Medical University I chose Aultman's Family Medicine program because it offered the best fit for my learning style. I found the faculty to be well-rounded, knowledgeable, and very friendly and easy to work with. I wanted to be in a program at a hospital that had other residency programs, allowing me to have other professionals to interact with to increase my knowledge and appreciation of other specialties, but also allow me a chance to have plenty of opportunities to get hands-on experience in medical situations outside of my specialty. Aultman has a great mixture of a big hospital experience with a small town feel at the same time, which will help prepare me for wherever I end up practicing family medicine. Aultman is also located within twenty five miles of a medical school, and several other hospitals for a well rounded training I truly believe you can't go wrong with coming to Aultman!

Trinley Gongya, M.D.
Status: PGY-3 Medical School: Saba University School of Medicine I was born and raised in the city of Toronto, Canada. Having spent my life living an active lifestyle, pursuing a Kinesiology and Health Science degree was a natural decision. My interest in human physiology and chronic disease lead me to pursue a career in medicine, and I attended Saba University School of Medicine. During clerkship, I did electives all across the US and Canada, and It was during this time that I realized my interest in primary care. So when it was time to choose a residency program, I was looking for a program that was supportive yet dedicated towards teaching, and Aultman was the perfect fit! Aultman has proven to be an institution which prides itself on spending the time to teach residents and students, while simultaneously nurturing a sense of individuality allowing each of our talents to shine. The faculty here are extremely supportive, encouraging and make it their mission to make sure we achieve our greatest potential. I couldn’t have been happier with my decision to join the Family Medicine team at Aultman, and truly look forward for the years to come.

Edy Hasrouni, M.D.
Status: PGY-3 Medical School: Ross University School of Medicine I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and received my undergraduate degree in biology. I conducted research for several years after completing college. However, I grew tired of being behind a lab bench and wanted something that allowed me to apply scientific principles and engage with people, which led me to a career in medicine. During my time in medical school, I could not find one particular area in medicine that I gravitated strongly towards and thus chose family medicine because of its breadth of knowledge. When it came time to choose a residency program, most of them blended together. However, Aultman Hospital Family Medicine Program was one of the few programs that stuck out to me and I felt that this is the place where I wanted to be. The faculty members are all easily approachable and strongly committed to your success. The residents work well together and are always willing to help. With Aultman’s strong commitment to teaching, I confidently know that I will be well-prepared to practice independently.

Maximilian Mulakandov, M.D.
Status: PGY-3 Medical School: Saba University School of Medicine I was born in Russia and grew up in Toronto, Canada. From a young age, I was fascinated by human biology and physiology. I attended York University where I earned my Bachelor of Science. During this time, I also volunteered at a family medicine clinic where I became interested in family medicine. From there I attended Saba University School of Medicine and did the majority of my clinical rotations in Florida and Maryland. During my interview with the Aultman Family Medicine Residency program, I felt a friendly atmosphere throughout. The faculty, residents and staff were very welcoming and I knew I would feel at home here. Since starting residency, my experience has been nothing short of amazing. If you want a teaching hospital with camaraderie, Aultman is the place to be.

Joseph Sebastian, M.D.
Status: PGY-3 Medical School: Ross University School of Medicine I was born in India and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia where I studied Business Economics and Biology at Georgia State University. After finishing Undergraduate studies, I worked with a Hospice organization in financial resource management. Exposure to dedicated teams of physicians and the potential to make a more positive and lasting impact in people's lives convicted me to pursue a career in medicine. I received my medical degree from Ross University. Clinical rotations in multiple Family Medicine settings convinced me that the breadth and depth of the specialty would allow me to provide the widest range of services to my community, while forging a lasting relationship with each individual patient. I did a Family Medicine elective rotation at Aultman Family Medicine where I experienced firsthand the compassionate culture in patient care, the firm commitment to education, the structured training, and the exposure to multiple cultures and communities, that I was looking for in a residency. The faculty and staff are extremely supportive, and there is a great emphasis on physician well-being as well. Aultman Family Medicine was my first choice, and I'm extremely happy with my decision. Outside of medicine, I'm looking forward to exploring the NFL Hall of Fame, the festivities of First Fridays in downtown Canton, dining at Gervasi Vineyard, and the various acts at Canton Palace Theater.

Maleenie Sharma, M.D.
Status: PGY-3 Medical School: Saba University School of Medicine I was born and raised in and around the Toronto area. My experiences growing up, my love for human biology, and my interaction with patients and nurses while volunteering at my local hospital helped me solidify my goal of becoming a physician. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Toronto where I double-majored in Biology for Health Sciences and Psychology. I then obtained my medical degree from Saba University School of Medicine. Family Medicine was by far my favorite clinical rotation and ultimately became my choice of specialty. I loved being able to manage patients of any age and demographic, play an essential role in preventing disease development and above all else, form long-term relationships with patients. When it was time to choose a residency program, the Aultman Family Medicine residency program immediately stood out to me. The atmosphere of the program was incredibly supportive. The faculty, staff and residents were all very friendly and approachable. In addition, I could immediately tell that there was a strong commitment to teaching. After my interview, I knew that not only would I receive exceptional training here but I would also feel at home. Now, after having matched here, my opinion remains the same and I could not be happier. I am proud to be a part of the Aultman family and am looking forward to becoming the best family physician I can be here.
