Current Fellows
First Year Fellows
Hazel Brogdon, MD
Medical School: University of Washington School of Medicine
Psychiatry Residency: Psychiatry Residency Spokane
Hazel Brogdon was born and raised in Chugiak, Alaska prior to studying
biochemistry and playing softball at Marietta College in Ohio. In between
undergrad and medical school, Hazel worked in suicide prevention at the
Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium providing suicide awareness and
intervention training to several Alaska Native communities throughout
the state. She was a part of the Alaska WWAMI Program with the University
of Washington School of Medicine prior to joining the Psychiatry Residency
Program in Spokane. She enjoys spending time with her family and fur babies,
hiking, gardening, and making it out to Liberty Lake or Medical Lake as
much as possible in the summer.
Cedar Neary, MD
Medical School: University of Washington School of Medicine
Psychiatry Residency: Psychiatry Residency Spokane
Dr. Cedar Neary was born in Seattle, WA and raised in the nearby suburbs
of Mercer Island and Bellevue. They went to Colorado State University
for undergrad, where they received a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences. They
then returned to WA to attend UW Med School. Going into medical school,
they were interested in working with youth and adolescents after multiple
prior jobs working in outdoor education and trip leading with youth in
CO and WY. However, throughout med school, they were consistently drawn
to the more humanistic approach that psychiatry offered. Their interest
in working with youth has persisted through residency and they are currently
in their first year of the Spokane Child and Adolescent Fellowship. They
are especially interested in working with the LGBTQ community, as well
as advocating for marginalized populations, which led them to joining
the DEI (Diversity, equity and inclusion) resident sub-committee for a
second year in a row. One of their favorite parts about the Spokane Psychiatry
Residency (and reason they chose to stay for CAP Fellowship) is the people.
The program directors and faculty are incredibly passionate about teaching
and creating a rich, inclusive, and supportive learning environment for
residents and fellows. The residents (and co-fellow) are kind, caring,
down-to-earth and supportive of one another. Plus, Spokane is a great
place to live, with ample accessible opportunities for their favorite
activities, including trail running, bike riding (they really enjoy the
12 minute ride to work through the neighborhoods), hiking, paddle boarding,
lake swimming, and cross country skiing. A recently added new adventure
is learning to sail!
