Gregory Gaskin, MD

Where are you from?

South Lake Tahoe, CA.

What are your personal interests/hobbies?

Being outside: climbing, mountain biking, skiing. Then, eating large amounts of food after those activities. Finally, laying on the couch watching TV while recovering from the outside activities and the food I just ate.

What are your professional interests?

Health IT and informatics, Peds EM.

Why did you choose UA EM?

On interview day, this was the program where I connected most strongly with the residents and faculty. Plus, all the outdoors and food opportunities (see hobbies above), in the comfortably-sized city of Tucson.

What's your ideal vacation?

I love the American West. So, ideally going somewhere that could serve as a home-base for my hobbies, like climbing/biking in Moab or climbing/skiing in the Eastern Sierra from Bishop.

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

Improve my Spanish to make it passable. Find the best places around Tucson to climb, bike and eat. Avoid terrible sunburn or a biking faceplant into a cactus.
