It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Surgical Critical Care Fellow and Surgery Resident, Walter Capote, MD, on Thursday, August 5, 2021. We acknowledge that this is a tremendous loss to the Univesity of Tennessee College of Medicine Chattanooga, University Surgical Associates, Erlanger Health System, and our entire community. Walter was a beloved colleague, physician, and friend who was recognized for his teaching skills and for doing everything possible for his patients. He was survived by his mother, father, brother, and many other family members.
He was born in Puerto Rico, and completed his undergraduate degree at Florida State University before entering medical school and graduating from the Universidad Central del Caribe in 2016.
Walter joined our Surgery Residency as a first year Preliminary Surgery Resident on July 1, 2016. The following year he matched as a first year Categorial Surgery Resident and would have completed our program on June 30, 2023. He was a Surgical Critical Care Fellow at the time of his death.
