Shilpa Mokshagundam, M.D.

Medical school: Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, TN

Residency: Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN

Hometown: Louisville, KY

About me: I have spent the majority of my life in the South but am really enjoying the Minnesota nice! I was drawn to Mayo for the apprenticeship model of surgical education, as well as the opportunity to train with gynecologic medical oncology experts. In our free time, my husband and I enjoy chasing around our young son, experimenting in the kitchen and cheering on the Vikings (for better or worse).

Simrit Warring, M.D., M.S.

Medical school: Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, Rochester, MN

Residency: Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN

Hometown: Folsom, CA

About me: I am the daughter of first-generation immigrants and first in my family to work in anything medicine related. Born and raised in California. Made my way to Minnesota almost 10 years ago for my medical school training and never left. Mayo Clinic is a special place to train with outstanding role models and mentors. The bedside manner, surgical expertise, and evidence-based practice of medicine is unparalleled. I feel fortunate to train at this institution alongside the best co-fellows- they're truly inspiring and have developed what I am sure will be lifelong friendships! Life outside of fellowship is filled with a lot of joy and fun as my husband (Mayo Clinic neurosurgery resident) and I have the fortune of being parents to our two wonderful daughters (2.5yo, 8mo), Bernadoodle, and two cats.

Luigi De Vitis, M.D.

Residency: Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Milan, Italy

Hometown: Ruffano, Italy

About me: I chose Mayo Clinic because of its extensive experience in training and exceptional patient care. The Gynecologic Oncology program offers a comprehensive curriculum with a strong emphasis on surgical training, but also provides the flexibility to accommodate individual goals and aspirations. To date, this fellowship has been the most enriching training experience of my life. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and immersing myself in different cultures whenever possible, as well as reading books and newspapers.

Medical school: Mayo Medical School; Rochester, MN

Residency: University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL

Hometown: Portland, OR

About me: Growing up in Portland, Oregon, I was accustomed to easy access to the beach, mountains, and great food. To my delight, these have all remained themes of my life in Rochester. Locally, I am part of the highly active running club, enjoy cycling, and am continually impressed by the schools and extracurricular opportunities available for my sons. Between residency and fellowship, my family lived and worked internationally, and we are grateful to be connected with the city's large international community.

Anusha Adkoli, M.D.

Medical school: New York Medical College; Valhalla, NY

Residency: Robert Wood Johnson Medical School; New Brunswick, NJ

Hometown: Bloomingdale, IL

About me: I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and did my medical training up until this point in the Northeast, and am excited to be back in the Midwest for fellowship! I was drawn to Mayo due to the emphasis on the three pillars of patient care, research, and education. Additionally, I thought that the apprenticeship model, emphasis on surgical training, and getting to work with gyn med oncs are highlights of the program. The faculty and mentors are excellent and kind. The opportunities here are robust and really allow you to build the career you've envisioned.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, yoga, dance, traveling, and spending time with my fiancé and labradoodle. It's been fun exploring the variety of outdoor activities Rochester and the surrounding area have to offer.

Residency: Medical City Arlington Hospital – UNTHSC/HCA Healthcare; Arlington, TX

Hometown: Lawton Ft. Sill, OK

About me: I was raised in Oklahoma, but have spent my educational journey in many places! I chose Mayo Clinic for my training because of the dedication to patient care and academic excellence that is evident the moment you set foot on campus. I am looking forward to growing both clinically and professionally during my training with the Gynecologic Oncology program.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, interior design, and, since moving to Minnesota, learning how to garden! I also enjoy spending time with my husband and our two pets, Aiden and Papaya.
