Meet the Chiefs
Welcome to the St. Vincent Internal Medicine Residency! As the chief residents for this year, we are excited to work with our outstanding medical students, residents, and faculty. Residency is a challenging time in every physician's training, but it is the launching pad for a successful career in medicine. As chief residents, we aim to continue the tradition at St. Vincent of promoting a supportive and encouraging atmosphere, all while making patient care our priority. We believe that St. Vincent is truly an amazing place to train, and we welcome you to our program!
Michaela Castleman, DO
I was born in Michigan and raised in Centerville, Indiana. I studied biochemistry and biomedical sciences at Grand Valley State University before earning my medical degree from Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine. Drawn to the high acuity of patients, Level 1 trauma designation, and broad clinical training, I chose to complete my residency at St. Vincent, where the supportive and driven team fosters constant learning and growth. I am excited to serve as Chief Resident and plan to pursue a career in pulmonary and critical care medicine. Outside of medicine, I enjoy naps, walks with my dog and husband, patio yap sessions with my girlfriends, and exploring new cities.
Emmy Georgas, DO
I was born and raised in Munster, Indiana. I stayed in Indiana where I completed my undergraduate education at Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Indiana. I then moved to Erie, Pennsylvania for medical school at LECOM. I knew I wanted to come back to Indiana and the culture and positive learning environment at Ascension St. Vincent was unmatched during my residency interviewing process. I have a deep love for all areas of medicine and a passion for improving health literacy in my patients which is what led me to pursuing a career in Internal Medicine. I am a part of the Primary Care Track here and look forward to serving my community as a Primary Care Doctor after residency. I am recently married to my wonderful husband, Seth, and we have two cats, Teddy and Leo. In my free time, I enjoy traveling/planning our next trip (Europe 2026!!!) I also enjoy exercising, home improvement projects, taking care of my plants, and reading. Ascension St. Vincent is a wonderful place to grow and learn. The patient and pathology diversity along with amazing clinical faculty and resources helps to create compassionate physicians able to take care of incredibly complex patients. I have truly loved my time here and look forward to serving as one of the IM Chief Residents during my PGY-3 year!
Victoria Jacuk, DO
Hello everyone! I was raised in Greenwood, Indiana, just south of Indianapolis. I went on to earn my undergraduate degree at Indiana University Bloomington, and then to medical school at Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine. I am very passionate about the field of Rheumatology, of which I will be applying for fellowship this upcoming cycle. I was successfully able to plan a wedding during my intern year and subsequently recently married my wonderful and supportive husband, Adam. We have two pups, Amelia and Calvin, named accordingly from my favorite bread and coffee shops in Fountain Square. My husband and I are often out in the city seeing local concerts, at the Metazoa dog park, finding new poor quality reality television shows, or watching Formula One every Sunday. I chose St. Vincent Internal Medicine Residency after having several rotations as a medical student with the program. From those experiences, I witnessed extremely educational teaching presentations, diverse pathology, and most importantly just how much the faculty at St. Vincent cared for the residents. Since joining the St. Vincent Family, I have felt nothing but support from our leaders and their excitement to assist me in reaching my future career goals!
