Beebe welcomes Ryan Arias to residency program faculty

Beebe Healthcare announced Ryan Arias, DO, is joining the faculty of its R. Randall Rollins Center for Medical Education. He will be a core faculty member of the family medicine residency program and will also see patients at Long Neck Primary Care.

Arias will care for patients of all ages, including newborns. He will also see inpatients at the Margaret H. Rollins Lewes Campus in the newborn nursery. For a primary care appointment, call 302-645-3332. Arias speaks both English and Spanish.

“I’m thrilled to welcome Dr. Arias to our core faculty of Beebe’s Family Medicine Residency Program,” said Joyce Robert, MD, FAAFP,  Beebe Healthcare Family Medicine Residency program director. “In his role, he will contribute to the program’s development and curriculum. His expertise and qualifications will help train and instruct Beebe’s residents, as well as seeing patients in Sussex County.”

Arias received his medical degree from the Campbell University Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine in North Carolina and completed his training at Harnett Health’s Family Medicine Residency in North Carolina, where he became chief resident.

He has served as a teaching assistant of osteopathic manipulative medicine – one of his special-interest areas – and an adjunct professor of family medicine at his alma mater. His other special areas of interest are treatment of the athlete, and simulation medicine, which aids the training of clinical teams.

“I chose academic medicine because I have always loved to teach,” Arias said. “It has been a passion of mine since my undergraduate years, and during the course of my residency, I knew teaching medicine was something that I needed to be a part of my career moving forward. I can’t wait to educate more physicians who could call Sussex County their home.”

After years of preparation, the R. Randall Rollins Center for Medical Education’s Family Residency Program will welcome four family medicine residents in July 2023. Residents are physicians who have graduated from medical school and are completing their training in a specific field. The residents will see patients under the guidance of faculty, which will open up additional access to primary care appointments in Sussex County.
