Student doctors Marsha Lachaud and John R. Wall recently completed externships with Thomas Byrnes, D.O., at Redicare-Urgent Medical Care in Richmond Hill.  

Both Lachaud and Wall are third-year osteopathic medical students at the Georgia campus of Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. They performed a clinical rotation with Dr. Byrnes and had an opportunity to hone their skills in osteopathic manipulative treatment on patients while also applying family-medicine skills.  

Lachaud, whose parents are from Haiti, is from Florida. She is scheduled to graduate in May 2013. Her next externship is in the critical unit at Columbus Regional Health Center.

Wall and his wife Meagan are from North Georgia. Wall is scheduled to graduate in May 2013, and his next externship is at Houston Medical Center.
