Danielle Ogren, MD

Where are you from?

Golden, Colorado

What are your personal interests/hobbies?

I love to go running with my trusty steed, Django, no matter how slow we may be. I also love home design and renovation (could spend all day watching HGTV if I let myself), staring at beautiful homes on Zillow that I can't afford, DIY/craft projects, exploring flea markets with my significant other, Alec, and buying too many records. Cooking, baking and trying new recipes (and eating). Watching movies!

What are your professional interests?

Medical education, Leadership

Why did you choose UA EM?

The people during the resident social and on interview day were all amazing. Both academic and community sites to learn at, including a VA hospital. 3-year program. Ability to work with our colleagues from the South Campus program (the more friends, the merrier).

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

Alexa, play "Wide Open Spaces" by the Dixie Chicks. After living in Los Angeles for medical school, I found myself craving a smaller-size city with less traffic and lots of space to explore (and cheaper housing)! The clear air, mountains and kind people are amazing here!

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

I want to challenge myself to get the most out of my free time while we are here in Tucson. I would like to get back into weight lifting and get ripped. Entering a pie eating contest would be cool too.
