A Letter from the New Editors-in-Chief
Alina and I would like to take the opportunity to introduce ourselves as the new editors-in-chief of in-House, the online peer-reviewed publication for residents and fellows.
Author: Ashley Cheek, DO
Editor-in-Chief and Former Social Media Manager

Ashley recently completed her pediatric residency and served as chief resident. In 2020, she graduated with honors from Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine. In 2012, she graduated Summa Cum Laude from Oral Roberts University. Throughout her medical journey, she has mentored students in Campbell’s MSBS program, inspired high school students through Envision National Youth Leadership Conference, and served as a childcare volunteer for the Campbell Community Christmas Store. Her interests include reading, writing, watching Hallmark movies, and spending time with her family (especially through vacations to Disney World & Dollywood). She hopes to contribute encouragement and inspiration to current & future medical students, residents, and fellows.
