Dr. Charles "Chuck" Bishop of St. Clairsville has been named Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine's resident of the month for February.
Bishop is completing his fifth and final year of the orthopedics residency at Marshall. He was nominated by nursing staff, other health care providers and physicians for the award due to his leadership, continual hard work and putting patients first.
"This month's awardee had multiple nominations that painted an overall picture of him being an excellent surgeon as well as an outstanding leader and hard-working individual who puts the needs of his patients first," said Dr. Paulette S. Wehner, vice dean for graduate medical education at the school. "Dr. Bishop is well known by all who work with him as being a great provider who goes above and beyond to make certain his patients and team members are well cared for."
Bishop earned a medical degree from the University of Toledo College of Medicine and completed an undergraduate degree at the Ohio State University in medical sciences.
"Dr. Bishop is an excellent leader and mentor to junior residents through his interactions with attendings, nurses, therapists and other auxiliary staff," said Dr. Matthew W. Bullock, associate residency program director for orthopedic surgery. "Besides being an excellent surgeon, Chuck has a great personality and is a friend to all. It is a pleasure to see this well-deserving resident honored as the resident of the month."
Bishop will join the orthopedic clinical team at Holzer Health System in Gallipolis, Ohio, upon completion of his training in July.
As an orthopedist, Bishop is trained to address a comprehensive approach to a range of disorders and damage that affect the bones, joints, cartilage, muscles, ligaments and tendons.
