Dr. Swan brings extensive experience in graduate medical education, physician leadership and academic medicine, with expertise in accreditation, residency program development, faculty development and strategic growth. Since joining the organization as Designated Institutional Official, she has led graduate medical education efforts including institutional accreditation, sponsoring institution governance and the continued growth of residency and fellowship programs. She has worked closely with hospital and physician leaders to strengthen accreditation readiness, enhance faculty development and align graduate medical education with long-term physician workforce needs.

“Graduate medical education is central to how we prepare the next generation of physicians and strengthen access to high-quality care in the communities we serve,” said Keith Zimmerman, president of HCA Midwest Health. “Dr. Swan brings the unique perspective of a physician, educator, program builder and leader. Her experience and vision will be important as we continue to grow our programs and develop physicians who are prepared to lead the future of healthcare.”

HCA Midwest Health has provided graduate medical education for nearly a decade. The health system’s GME program, launched in 2017, has graduated more than 180 physicians and has continued to expand. In 2026, 12 accredited residency and fellowship programs will train approximately 200 residents and fellows across HCA Midwest Health.

Before moving into GME leadership, Dr. Swan served as associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Kansas School of Medicine and was the founding program director of the HCA Healthcare/Overland Park Regional Medical Center Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program. She led the program from recruitment of its first class through graduation, establishing its educational structure, faculty development and clinical training foundation.

“I have spent much of my career caring for patients and educating physicians, and I have seen firsthand the impact a strong residency or fellowship program can have on physicians, hospitals and communities,” said Dr. Swan. “I look forward to working with our faculty, residents, fellows and hospital leaders to build on the strong foundation already in place and continue developing programs that prepare physicians to deliver high-quality, compassionate care throughout their careers.”

A board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist with fellowship training in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, Dr. Swan earned her medical degree from the University of Kansas School of Medicine. She completed her obstetrics and gynecology residency at Saint Joseph Hospital in Denver and fellowship training at AdventHealth Celebration in Celebration, Florida. She also earned a Master of Business Administration from the University of Saint Mary. Her clinical practice has included complex gynecologic conditions and advanced laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures.
