FEATURED SPEAKERS OF THE WEEK
Sarah Dill, MD
I received my medical degree from University of Washington and completed both internal medicine and rheumatology training at the University of Colorado. Although I currently live and work in Denver, Colorado, this fall my family and I are relocating to Yakima, Washington where I will work as a Rheumatologist at Virginia Mason Memorial. I will also be joining the faculty at Pacific Northwest University. I love rheumatology, particularly as it relates to medical education. I think that we can de-mystify our profession by providing cognitive frameworks to think about our diseases.
