Evan O'Berg, MD
Where are you from? Schertz, Texas
What are your personal interests and hobbies? Hunting, Fishing, MMA
What are your professional interests? Critical care, flight medicine as well as military medicine
Why did you choose U of A emergency medicine? I really resonated with the family/community feel the program has, as well as the strong ultrasound curriculum. I am also excited to be one of first few residents to go through as part of the Air Force partnership because I get to lay some of the groundwork to solidify it.
What is your favorite activity in Tucson or what attracted you to Tucson besides the residency program? I am a big outdoorsman, so being in the Southwest allows me to be a short distance from a lot of different outdoor activities. Also, I look forward to being closer to family in Southern California.
What are your nonmedical goals during residency? Get more into mixed martial arts, as well as work on some long-range marksmanship skills.
