Baraboo 1-2 Rural Training Track (RTT) Family Medicine Residency Program

Two Residents joined the Baraboo RTT this year:

  • Both grew up in small Wisconsin communities and share a passion for rural health.
  • Anderson developed an interest in geriatrics after working as a CNA in a nursing home. She also has special interests in women’s health and obstetrical care within family medicine.
  • Wolf pursued a PhD in immunology and started a rural health interest group in medical school. These experiences helped her understand the importance of translational research and access to a personal family physician.

    • Two served abroad as community health workers where they developed interests in global health.

    • Two worked with Indigenous people in the United States learning about cultural influences and health disparities.
