Andrew Ready, DO

Where are you from?

San Diego, but since have lived in Los Angeles, Rhode Island, and Maine.

What are your personal interests/hobbies?

Hanging out with my wife and children, preferably somewhere outdoors. I enjoy surfing, snowboarding, skiing, hiking, biking, yoga, learning to climb, and trying new things that blow my hair back a bit.

What are your professional interests?

Wilderness medicine, sports medicine, global health. Incorporating outdoors and sports interests, particularly surfing, into my career.

Why did you choose UA EM?

I felt very at home here on my rotation. On every level, the people are great. I am stoked to be at a program with such a well-rounded residency experience and opportunities like rural rotations to branch out and train in different settings.

Favorite activity in Tucson?

My mom and her side of my family have lived in Tucson for many years, and I am looking forward to many family get-togethers and fun times.

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

Maintain some balance in my life with professional aspirations, family life, and personal interests. Also, sneak in some surf and snow trips.
