Laura "Lo" Cantu, MD

Where are you from?

California

What are your personal interests/hobbies?

My pre-schooler picks most of my hobbies; mostly hiking and kayaking at a very slow pace. When I can, I love to sport climb outdoors, read under a pile of blankets, or make a mess of my kitchen feeding friends for late afternoon meals.

What are your professional interests?

Rural medicine & Pediatric advocacy

Why did you choose UA EM?

Fellows to learn advanced skills from, unique range of pathology to treat, and good people to work with.

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

Eating! The food is fantastic and fuss-free. Wandering around Mount Lemmon is a close second.

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

Walk my dog more days than not, see my kid send a full route outdoors, and cook a meal that makes my partner's jaw drop.
