Eliza Minnick

Eliza Minnick is a consultant hired by Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital to revamp their surgical residency program.

Childhood
When she was two, her father looked for swimming lessons for her. Instead of getting them, her mother instead threw her into the pool.

Working at Grey Sloan Memorial
After deciding the residency program needed work, Catherine Avery hired Eliza to come in and shake things up. She first held a meeting with all the residents and asked them about the attendings and what they liked and didn't like about the program. Then she observed several surgeries, giving tips to the attendings on how they could improve their residents' experience and teach them more. At the end of the day, she told Bailey she was fielding a few other offers, but she liked the idea of working there.

Professional
When she started observing surgeries and giving tips at Grey Sloan Memorial, she immediately start to ruffle feathers with the other doctors.
