Dr. Afton McNierney-Moore

Afton McNierney-Moore, DO

Medical School: Midwestern University - AZCOM

I was born and raised in Wyoming and will always be a Pokes fan at heart!  I attended the University of Wyoming studying Zoology, Physiology and Spanish.  I was lucky enough to marry my high school sweet heart and we eventually moved to Phoenix so I could attend medical school at Midwestern University, AZCOM.  For fun you will find me spending time with my hubby, running races with my sister, hanging out with my family, playing with my two nieces, enjoying a delicious wheat beer or dancing to good music. 

My Emergency Medicine interest began right after I graduated from high school. I worked in the Emergency Department as a Unit Clerk, C.N.A., and E.D. Tech while receiving my undergraduate degree and fell in love with the “organized chaos.”  During my fourth year in medical school I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to rotate in Corpus for a month and had an outstanding educational experience.  The one-on-one interaction between the attendings and residents provided an excellent learning opportunity.  It was clear to me that the residents were very highly regarded in the community as being adept, efficient physicians.  I was confident that I would graduate from this residency as being well trained for anything that may roll through the door.  Also, I really liked the lack of competition from other residencies and the smaller class size.
