Dr. Randall Suttor’s last day at the residency was Friday, June 13. For over a quarter of a century, Dr. Suttor has been a cornerstone of the Memorial Family Medicine Residency Program, shaping generations of family physicians through his steady leadership, clinical expertise and deep commitment to service. A tireless advocate for expanding the breadth of training available to residents, Dr. Suttor was instrumental in launching the residency’s OB Fellowship, ensuring that future family physicians would be prepared to care for patients across the reproductive health spectrum with confidence and skill.
Dr. Suttor also championed the development of our international medicine rotation, recognizing the transformative value of global health experiences in shaping compassionate, adaptable physicians. Under his guidance, residents were able to broaden their cultural awareness, clinical perspective and dedication to health equity – both at home and abroad. He was instrumental in setting up the Global Endowment Fund, which will help provide financial support for residents pursing international education experiences. This fund has been named in his honor and is now known as the Dr. Randall Suttor Global Endowment Fund.
Known for his humility, wisdom and quiet but powerful influence, Dr. Suttor’s leadership has left a lasting legacy. His work has deepened the program’s mission and expanded the horizons of every learner fortunate enough to work alongside him. We are grateful for his decades of service and celebrate the indelible mark he has left on our program and the community we serve.
