MY TURN: Love letter to North Idaho from a homegrown physician
In February, many people are writing love letters, and although this may sound cheesy, I thought I’d write one for North Idaho. I am a homegrown Idaho physician in my last year of training, and I wouldn't have gotten to where I am now without the support of my community.
I grew up in Sandpoint, enjoyed the outdoors, playing volleyball and loved science, especially my high school anatomy and physiology classes. While trying to determine my career path, I was encouraged by a professor to shadow a local doctor. It was this experience that influenced me to become a doctor. During this experience, I saw how impactful rural physicians can be in their community by providing medical care and also being involved in local politics, school sports and community service.
