Anthony (AJ) Sermarini, MD

I’m originally from the Philadelphia suburbs, where I grew up with my parents, dachshund, and identical twin, Zach. After college in New Jersey, I decided to see what Southern hospitality was all about and moved to Nashville for medical school. Needless to stay, I was impressed! Vanderbilt’s culture of wellness is truly special and permeates the hospital – from the attendings down to the medical students. I was a Navy HPSP scholar in medical school, but don’t ask me if I know how to drive a ship. My hobbies outside of the hospital include hiking, cooking (ask me about my family’s stuffed olives), mixing cocktails, and singing. You can find me swapping scrubs for a tuxedo to sing with the Nashville Symphony Chorus a few times a year. I’m so so excited to be sticking around at Vanderbilt. The Vandy Dream Team is alive and well – my co-residents feel like family and I’m looking forward to the next four years!
