After residency, Andrea was employed with Baptist Health Lexington in General Surgery.

My name is Andrea Marchyn, and I am excited to take on the general surgery academic PA residency with UK and Baptist Health Lexington. I am originally from Portsmouth, Ohio, and attended Centre College in Danville, KY. Since high school, I knew the PA profession would be the perfect fit for me after shadowing a group of incredible PAs. I decided to continue my education in medicine with the UK Physician Assistant Program in January 2020. At the start of the program, I was intrigued by all aspects of medicine but amazed at how surgical intervention changed patients' quality of life. During my clinical year, I realized how drawn I was to surgery after my October rotation in general surgery. My goal through this residency is to expand my skills in the operating room to serve my patients best and learn about the operations that will best improve their lives. I am excited to serve The Commonwealth of Kentucky and look forward to the challenging but rewarding year!
