Residency Coordinators


Stephanie Mason-Casto, Osteopathic Graduate Medical Education Coordinator
Since May 2001 I have worked in the GME Office with residents from both allopathic and osteopathic programs.  I am also the Osteopathic Coordinator here at CAMC.  In July 2006 the Urological Surgery Residency started, which I have enjoyed learning about and watching it develop.
My husband Kevin and I have been married for five years (May 2001).  We have no children, just nieces and nephews, which seem like our own.  We enjoy taking them camping and fishing and spending time with them.
We also have a dog, a peek-a-shoo (Pekingese and Shih Tzu mix) named Dakoda.  He enjoys riding on the motorcycle with us.
Besides camping with the kids and riding the motorcycle with the dog, we also enjoy spending time with our families.

I have been an employee of the Department of Surgery for almost eight years now. In July 2001, I moved into the position of residency coordinator.

Jeri Whitten, Residency Coordinator, Pediatrics
I am a native West Virginian and love the laid-back lifestyle and friendly, wholesome people who live here.  On the professional side, I have had the pleasure of working for more than 33 years in medical education, the last 30 in Pediatrics. I have been fortunate to see so many scared new residents turn into happy, confident physicians.  Nothing gives me more pleasure than to receive baby pictures or wedding pictures from one of my graduates.   I currently serve on the National Executive Committee for Pediatric Residency Coordinators, a section of the Association of Pediatric Program Directors, and was Chair of the Steering Committee responsible for securing Pediatric Coordinators section status in the APPD.  My husband, Greg, and I have been married for 35 years and have one son, Sean.  We are cat lovers and have three, Tigger, Bitty and Callie.  Greg and I are huge race fans and enjoy attending several NASCAR races each year (GO 24!!!).  We love the outdoors, camping, fishing and being in the woods.  I am active in the community, having served on the Board of Directors of the Charleston Ronald McDonald House since it’s inception (first as Secretary and then President), and currently Chair the Grants Committee for our local Ronald McDonald House Charities.  Phone number (304) 388-1563.  E-mail jwhitten@hsc.wvu.edu.  Address:  WVU Charleston Division, Department of Pediatrics, 830 Pennsylvania Avenue, Suite 104, Charleston, WV   25302
