Dylan Pigeon, MD - Chief Resident

Where are you from?

San Diego, CA

What are your personal interests/hobbies?

Really any activity that gets me outside and sweating, which is not hard to do in Tucson. Highlights include rock climbing, mountain biking, surfing, road cycling, and hiking. My "indoor" hobbies include cooking, painting, and playing board games.

What are your professional interests?

Wilderness Medicine, EMS, and Ultrasound.

Why did you choose UA EM?

The people. During the virtual interview season, I was impressed by the faculty, the current residents, and the culture of family they have cultivated at U of A.

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

The access to amazing outdoor recreation year round and the amazing culinary scene.

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

Stay close to family and friends, make new lifelong friends, improve my Spanish skills, and not get bit/stung by a scorpion/tarantula hawk/rattlesnake.
