Internal Medicine Residency Program

Dr. Randolph is a native Detroiter. Upon Receiving her Medical Degree from Wayne State School of Medicine, she attended residency at The Detroit Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of Michigan. Graduating from their Internal Medicine and Pediatric training program she joined Abbott Medical Group, a private practice in the city of Detroit.

Dr. Randolph would remain there several years working part time while raising her young family. However, in 2008 shortly after obtaining her board certification and the birth of her third child, she took a full-time position at The Wellness Plan, a Federally qualified health Center also in Detroit.

It was in this setting she realized it was her passion to care for the people in greatest need. A need for efficient, affordable, compassionate, evidence-based medical care. She continues to utilize her unique skill set to provide medical care in various practice types to the underserved population.

Dr. Randolph has over 20 years of experience working in the areas of primary care and urgent care. Although she left full-time clinical practice to pursue an MBA in 2022, she continues to serve as Program Director of the Internal Medicine Program for Detroit Wayne County Health Authority. The rest of her work week is devoted to her position as Medical Director of Quality Management at BCBSM.

Valerie Y. Abbott, M.D., is the Founder and CEO of Abbott Medical Group in Southfield, Michigan. The practice was established in 2001 and provides primary care for children and adults.

Dr. Abbott received a B.S. in Microbiology and a Certificate in Medical Technology from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She worked as a Medical Technologist in the clinical laboratories of the University of Michigan hospital in Ann Arbor and the Medical College of Ohio hospital in Toledo, Ohio.

Responding to the call to pursue a career in medicine, she matriculated to the Ohio State University College of Medicine in Columbus, Ohio, where she received the Doctor of Medicine degree. Dr. Abbott completed an internship and residency in the combined Internal Medicine and Pediatric Program at the Detroit Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of Michigan. She is board certified in both Internal Medicine and Pediatrics and enjoys working with families in achieving and maintaining healthy lifestyles.

In addition to her clinical duties as a primary care physician, Dr. Abbott holds a volunteer faculty position with Wayne State University as a Clinical Assistant Professor in Internal Medicine. One of her passions is teaching. Dr. Abbott has the privilege of working with the second-year medical students at Wayne State University College of Medicine in their Continuity Clerkship, and as a community preceptor in internal medicine for the Detroit Wayne County Health Authority. Dr. Abbott considers it an honor and a privilege to participate in the training of the next generation of physicians.
