Let’s get to know another intern! Meet Dr. Ashley Qualls!
📍Hometown: Galesburg, IL
🩺 MD: University of Illinois-Rockford
🐯 Why Mizzou: When applying for residency, Mizzou caught my eye because it offered everything that I was looking for in a residency program: camaraderie among the residents, excellent training in trauma, rural exposure through the large area that the hospital system serves, and strong female leadership. An added perk was that my husband loved their urology program! Mizzou was the best fit to train us to serve rural populations without strong access to healthcare.
🏥 Outside of the ED: In my free time I love to run and workout, travel, try new coffee shops with my husband, watch reality TV, and spend time with my family, which includes my dog Milo!
