Alexandra “Sasha” Oosting, MD

Where are you from? Manitowoc, Wisconsin

What are your personal interests/hobbies? I took up furniture flipping during COVID for a little extra cash and loved flipping over 20 dressers! I also love running/lifting, PC gaming, and spending time with my dogs and partner Kyle.

What are your professional interests? Emergency medicine, ultrasound, medical education.

Why did you choose U of A Emergency Medicine? I did a rotation at the U of A and loved it. The people were extremely friendly, everyone had outdoor interests, the pathology varied a lot, and I liked the smaller feel of the class at the South Campus as well as being able to get both community experience at South and academic medicine over at the main campus.

What is your favorite activity in Tucson or what attracted you to Tucson besides the residency program? The varied culture/foods, the outdoors and hiking almost year-round, nearby parks, and the ability to quickly escape the heat over at Mount Lemmon.

What are your nonmedical goals during residency? Learn some more Spanish, start mountain biking again and use my furniture makeover skills to do renovations.
