Adam Whiteley, MD - Chief Resident

Where are you from?

Most recently from Bozeman, MT. Originally from Santa Barbara, CA.

What are your personal interests/hobbies?

My family. Playing golf and watching Dodgers baseball. Anything outdoors. Reading, watching (and quoting) movies, live music and listening to National Public Radio. I love doing projects around the house and have a 1966 Ford Mustang waiting for residency to be over to get the full restoration it deserves.

What are your professional interests?

EMS, austere medicine and ultrasound. Healthcare policy particularly with regards to climate change and LGBTQIA+ medicine.

Why did you choose UA EM?

Exceptional training, world renowned faculty, diversity of sites, and quality of life (culture, access to the outdoors, climate).

Favorite activity in Tucson, or what attracted you to Tucson besides the residency program?

NOT having to shovel snow! (But really, probably the diversity and quality of food!)

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

Be present and engaged with my two daughters. Take my wife out for date nights. Immerse ourselves in the Tucson community and enjoy all that it, and the rest of Arizona, have to offer!
