Meet the Scholars

Jennifer Dannenberg, MD,  is from the small, rural town of Winchester, Tennessee. She didn't stray far from home for her undergraduate training at Sewanee, The University of the South, but she finally ventured across the state for her medical school training at UTHSC. She subsequently fell in love with Memphis and decided to stick around for residency as well. She is currently pursuing combined training in Internal Medicine & Pediatrics with the goal of providing primary care for all ages. She is hopeful that specific training in Quality Improvement will provide her with the skills to constantly re-evaluate and update her future medical practice in ways that will benefit her patients. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking with my husband and snuggling with her fur-babies! 

Nikki Caton, MD, is a PGY3 Family Medicine resident and Chief for the 2020-2021 academic year at UT-Jackson. She graduated with a mechanical engineering degree from Kettering University in Flint, Michigan and worked at Ethicon as an engineer before starting medical school at UNTHSC-TCOM in Fort Worth, Texas.  She is excited to pursue the Certificate in Clinical Investigation in order to increase her ability to ask good clinical questions and thus serve her patients better, as well as help teach rising medical students and residents.
