Tricia Miedema, MD

Where are you from?

Technically, I was an alien from Vietnam who landed in Michigan in an American Airlines space ship (ok, it was a Boeing 747).

What are your personal interests/hobbies?

Soccer, volleyball, traveling, music, and gardening

What are your professional interests?

International medicine (Antarctica would be fun!), and I would like to rock on ultrasound.

Why did you choose UA EM?

I got pumped about UA EM because of an ICU attending in Michigan, who, unbeknown to me, was a graduate of the program. It made me take a more in depth look and I after interviewing, I felt really connected to the program and population it served.

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

The fact that I don't have to move all my plants indoors during the winter season...and cacti!

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

To not get sunburned and work on growing a little taller
