Meet our students

"I desire to take care of entire families from birth to end-of-life care. I think that’s something really special about being a rural family doc."

"Growing up in a small town and tight-knit community, I believe everyone deserves access to health care, and realizing that they may have experienced issues getting care was something that I wanted to make sure that I addressed."
