Palms West Hospital, in partnership with The Palm Beach Centre for Graduate Medical Education, is proud to announce the graduation of Dr. Christina Ecker, the first Pediatrician to complete the Pediatric Residency program.

Dr. Ecker, who is Pediatric Board Certified, will join the local Pediatric practice of Dr. Susan Shamaskin, Pediatric Center of Wellington.

Being among the first residents in the program, Dr. Ecker feels she paved the way for those who followed her in the program. She is glad to see how the program has grown and takes pride in knowing she was part of the process. Her involvement with the PBCGME program at Palms West Hospital does not end here, Dr. Ecker says she will continue to be involved with the program as an instructor.
