Bulldogs Give Back
White Coats, Red and Black Spirit
As preceptors and supporters of UGA’s School of Medicine,
the Grows keep the future of medicine in focus.
For Kelly (BS ’94) and Parker (BS ’97) Grow, the University of Georgia isn’t just where their academic journeys began, it’s been the heartbeat of their personal and professional lives. As proud Bulldogs, Athenians and practicing physicians, their connection to the university runs deep, and their enthusiasm for the new School of Medicine is nothing short of contagious.
Both Parker, a cardiologist, and Kelly, a gastroenterologist, trained at Emory University after completing their undergraduate degrees at UGA. Their careers have flourished in Athens, where they’ve mentored countless students through shadowing opportunities and preceptorships, especially those from the AU/UGA Medical Partnership.
“People tend to stay where they train. The more doctors we train in Georgia, the more we’ll retain to serve our communities.”
– Kelly Grow BS ’94
“They’re always excited, young minds that just want to soak up all the information we can give them.”
– Parker Grow BS ’97
