Hi, I'm Griffin! I was born and raised in Bettendorf, Iowa. I went to undergrad at the University of Northern Iowa and attended medical school at Des Moines University. It didn't take me long in medical school to realize that the Emergency Department felt like home. Every day, every shift is a mystery. The ER always keeps you on your toes, something I truly enjoy.
I was fortunate enough to complete a rotation at CHRISTUS Spohn Shoreline with the CCEMRP program, and after my first shift, I knew this was the place I wanted to train. To me, I knew that I would get good training no matter what residency I went to. But what I was really looking for was a supportive environment that felt like home. That is exactly what CCEMRP provides: a supportive, family culture where I genuinely look forward to every single shift in the ED. If you're looking for diverse pathology and a high acuity place to train with no competition for procedures from other residency programs, Corpus Christi is the place for you.
In my free time, you can find me on the golf course or watching the Iowa Hawkeyes' offense struggle to put the football into the end zone.
