Alexandra Jordan Barbosa, MD

Where are you from? Phoenix, Arizona.

Why did you choose the College of Medicine – Tucson Pediatrics Residency Program? The people, everyone is friendly, nice and super supportive.

What are your current professional interests and career goals? PICU fellowship.

What are your personal interests and hobbies? I enjoy spending time with my co-residents, reading and exploring Tucson.

What is your favorite thing about Tucson? Tucson is like a large small town. I like having a barista at a coffee shop who knows my name but at the same time getting the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. We are also fortunate to treat a wide array of patients due to our location and I appreciate the opportunity to support these various populations.

What are your non-medical goals during residency? To read as many books as possible. Tucson has some great smaller bookshops that I love visiting.
