Anesthesia Residency Program at UPMC Lititz: Current Residents

Anna Goetze, DO

Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine at Seton Hill University
Greensburg, PA

I grew up in Wisconsin before attending Xavier University for my undergraduate degree. I then earned an MPH from George Washington University before attending LECOM at Seton Hill for medical school. Outside of work, I enjoy playing with my dog, Aloo, and planning my next vacation. My goal is to visit every national park! When I'm not at the hospital, you can find me at the gym, with Aloo on one of the many trails in the Lititz/Lancaster area or trying a new restaurant.

Rumin Shah, DO – Chief Resident

Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine – Virginia Campus
Blacksburg, VA

My name is Rumin Shah. I’ve moved around quite a bit growing up, 11 states total. However, I grew up majority of my life in Northern Virginia. I went to undergrad at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia where I majored in Biology. So unique, I know. I attended medical school at VCOM-VA in Blacksburg, Virginia. I enjoy Lititz, especially because of its unique food options and local breweries. Its’ close proximity to Lancaster is also nice, because it gives a city-feel to it. In my free time, I enjoy being active by playing multiple sports, hiking, cooking, playing video games, and trying new cuisines.

Joseph Carter, DO

Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine
Virginia Campus - Blacksburg, VA

My name is Joe Carter, and I grew up in Northern Virginia (Fairfax, VA). I chose to study biology at Christopher Newport University (CNU), which inherently allowed me to enjoy the perks of local beach life. I had the opportunity to play football at CNU, where I started as the team’s punter. I then attended Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine - Virginia (VCOM-VA) in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Blacksburg, VA. I love beach-life, fishing, golfing, cooking, football, and going on adventures with my wife and our rescue dog, Rambo.

Eric Sugarman, DO

Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine
Philadelphia, PA

I'm Eric Sugarman, the oldest of three siblings, raised in Livingston, NJ. I became dedicated to soccer at a young age and eventually played out my career in college. My siblings shared my passion for soccer and followed in suit! I pursued my higher education at Brown University, where I studied Business, Economics, and Entrepreneurship.

After completing my undergraduate studies, I took on the challenge of fulfilling premedical course requirements at the University of Pennsylvania, paving the way for my journey into PCOM. In my spare time, you'll often find me cycling, running, or hiking with my wife and our dog. Academically, I have a keen interest in exercise physiology, and I enjoy delving deeper into this field to expand my knowledge and enhance my own fitness regimen.

Jaron Clark, DO

I am from Bozeman, MT. Growing up here allowed me to cultivate my love for the outdoors. I spent a lot of time skiing, dirt biking, and hiking. I eventually moved to Idaho for my undergraduate degree, and I met my wife. I attended the Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine. My wife and I have a two-year-old daughter. In my spare time I can be found doing anything outdoors and spending time with my family

My name is Christian Hasson, born and raised here in Lititz. I was introduced to Anesthesiology when I was just 13 years old and have wanted to become an Anesthesiologist ever since. While I am thrilled to help our community from a healthcare standpoint and truly enjoy working in the hospital, I also love the outdoors. In my spare time, you’ll find me riding motorcycles, fishing, golfing or volunteering with my church.
