Southern Louisiana

Climbing, Cycling, Paddling. Really anything outdoors!

What are your professional interests?

Rural EM, Wilderness Medicine

Why did you choose UA EM?

So many reasons! I knew I'd get outstanding clinical experience and training here. I really liked the broad longitudinal exposure to different settings. Having shifts at an academic center, county/community at south campus, and the pediatric ED every EM month was a huge selling point. All the residents I met on interview day were awesome and super nice. Tucson is a great place to live with an endless amount of outdoor activities. Really couldn't ask for a better place to train.

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

Climbing, biking, and hiking right outside the city!

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

Continue to explore Southern Arizona, climb harder, and maintain a resting heart rate below 50.
