and getting rained on. After spending a year in Guyana, South America,
she moved to Alberta for an undergraduate degree in biology and chemistry
while taking mountaineering courses in the nearby Canadian Rockies. While

the means by which we can truly make people and populations healthy. Dr.

Dr. Peash grew up in the rural town of Rainier, Washington, not far from

and opportunities in rural/global health. In her second year of residency,

family medicine residents. Dr. Peash’s medical interests include

as well as full-scope family medicine training. Prior to residency, she
attended the University of Virginia for medical training and also completed

Dr. Kuhar was born and raised in Augusta, GA before attending Emory University
in Atlanta where he majored in French Literature and thought it might
be a good idea to be an EMT on the side to prepare for his dream job at
the time of becoming a ski patroller. This experience ignited a love for
patient care, but also an early recognition of the health inequities that
so deeply impact the lives of others. Several years after undergraduate,
he completed his MPH at the University of Washington in Community-Oriented
Public Health Practice (COPHP) where he advanced his understanding of
the social determinants of health and health inequities - developing a
love of program design and evaluation along the way. The experience also
confirmed his desire to act at the interpersonal level of health care
delivery specifically for underserved and marginalized populations. At
the University of Washington School of Medicine, Dr. Kuhar found family
medicine to be the best way to help his patients through the benefit of
longitudinal relationships over the life course. In addition to full-scope
family medicine training, he is particularly interested in addiction medicine
and integrating service-learning and advocacy into residency education
for the benefit of the communities the residency serves. In his free time,
he enjoys alpine activities such as back-country skiing and climbing deep
in the Cascades and Coast Range with his wife, and he is looking forward
to passing their obsession on to their new son.
