Her medical interests include Women's Health, LGBT Health, Community Health Education and Preventive Medicine.  She was drawn to family medicine as a specialty because it would allow her to help a patient with any medical issue.  Crozer was her choice for residency because she wanted to be at a place with diversity and a strong sense of community within the Family Medicine Department as well as within the area she would serve.

Rachael is the oldest of three siblings.  She grew up in southern Chester County in West Grove, PA.  Outside of residency, she enjoys running, hiking, rollerblading, biking, cooking, baking, reading and traveling (especially road trips to visit friends and family.)  Rachael was drawn to Family Medicine because she liked so many of her third year rotations.  In Family Medicine, she finds the variety, the continuity of care and the chance to build lasting doctor-patient relationships extremely rewarding.  Her medical interests include adolescents and HIV.  “I could tell when I met everyone on interview day that I would fit well with everyone in this program and everyone was very friendly and helpful.  I like having the chance to rotate at Crozer and a smaller community hospital, DCMH.  I also felt that the variety of patients in the outpatient office would be great because I do not know where I will end up practicing ultimately after residency.”

Justin.Torrente@crozer.org

Justin believes primary care physicians are firmly rooted at the heart of a community’s well-being. One of the key features that led him to pursue a career in family medicine was the opportunity to serve as a bona fide extension of the family unit.  Beyond this, he is humbled by the fact that family physicians must be equipped to handle virtually all of the common—and many of the not-so-common—conditions that arise in essentially all age groups within all segments of society. 

Within family medicine, he has a strong interest in working with underserved populations.  This interest was fostered during medical school through his volunteer work at a local homeless shelter as well as a student-run clinic located in inner-city Harrisburg, PA.  As a National Health Service Corps scholar, he has made a firm commitment to continue working with the underserved both during residency and beyond.

With this in mind, he believes that Crozer’s commitment to broadening overall access to healthcare mirrors his own. With Federally Qualified Health Center designation and an extremely diverse patient population, Crozer is certainly a place where the underserved are a genuine priority. 

Outside of medicine, he enjoys spending time with his wife, daughter, and dog. He is a huge sports fan and also a home-brewer, so every couple months he has a new batch of beer to enjoy and share with friends.

Brittney.Zafonte@crozer.org

Brittney’s goals as a family physician are to provide comprehensive care for patients of all ages, with a focus on pediatrics, women's health and development of the patient centered medical home.  She would like to maintain a strong element of community service through volunteering at local clinics and overseas.

She grew up in the suburbs of NYC and went to UMDNJ-SOM, so living right outside of Philadelphia feels almost like home.  Getting to wander around Philly and check out new restaurants with some friends are some of her favorite things to do.  And when she needs to relax, she loves to jog or to try out new interesting recipes. 

Brittney always wanted to be a family physician, and as this desire was confirmed as she rotated through different electives in medical school.  She chose family medicine because it has a perfect combination of continuity of care, ongoing learning and diagnostic challenges, and the ability to treat the physical ailments of the patient while addressing their emotional and spiritual health.   

When she spent time at Crozer during her fourth year of medical school, she immediately felt a warm camaraderie with the residents and staff – she loved how they worked together as a team!  It was clear that she could learn how to successfully implement a patient centered medical home, as they have been using this model for years.  Plus, the unique mix of patients at Crozer provides the opportunity to care for the underserved, but also gain experience with patients of a variety of backgrounds.
