She went on to complete her Pediatric Residency at the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center in Memphis in 2023, followed by a Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship from the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas in 2024, achieving board certification in both specialties. During her fellowship, Dr. Creel presented her work at regional and national conferences, including the Annual Assembly of Hospice and Palliative Medicine. She has spent the past year as an Assistant Professor at UT Southwestern and served as a Palliative Care physician at Parkland Hospital in Dallas. We are pleased to welcome Dr. Creel back to the LSUHSC community where she joins her husband, Dr. Colten Creel, a new Infectious Disease faculty member in the Department of Medicine.
