Dr. Jamie Schnuck

Hometown:

Hartland, WI

Medical School:

Medical College of Wisconsin

Additional Education:

High Point University

Bio:

I’m originally from Wisconsin and athletics took me south to High Point University, NC, where I threw hammer on the track and field team! I returned home for medical school where I worked as a personal trainer during school as well, and am thrilled to have my next adventure take to me the PNW to begin training at the University of Washington. My research background is in biochemistry and I look forward to expanding on this as I participate in the 7 year research track.

Personal Interests:

Anything fitness related! Camping, hiking, and exploring with my belgian malinois- Simba

Clinical Interests:

Pediatric surgery, surgical oncology

Professional Activities:

American College of Surgeons

Why UW?

At the Medical College of Wisconsin, I was fortunate to have many incredible mentors who have ties to UW so I was able to see first hand the impressive impact the program had on each of their careers. Combine that with the location and confidence the program will set me up to be successful in whatever fellowship I choose, it was an done deal.

What advice do you have for incoming interns?

You got this!
