Lindsey Gagnon, MD

Where are you from?

New Orleans, Louisiana

What are your personal interests/hobbies?

All things outdoors! Hiking, camping, biking, snowboarding, long walks with my dog

What are your professional interests?

As a combined Emergency Medicine & Pediatrics physician, I hope to work in a rural setting in both an ER and a private pediatrics clinic.

Why did you choose UA EM?

The relationships between the residents and with the faculty at UA drew me into this program the most. There is truly a family feeling in the culture of UA, where faculty are willing and eager to teach and residents are genuinely supportive of each other. After completing an away rotation here, I just couldn't wait to come back.

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

I still cannot believe so many hiking spots around Tucson can be done within a day trip! And for days when I want to be less active, I love exploring the downtown and 4th Avenue area shops and craft breweries.

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

To improve my trivia skills, land a snowboarding jump, bike from the base to the top of Mount Lemmon, and explore as many national parks in and around Arizona as possible.
