Atiqur was born in Bangladesh and moved to the States when he was a few months old. He grew up in Queens, NY, and enjoyed exploring downtown Manhattan by himself during his elementary school years. He moved to the Seattle area when he was in middle school and earned his B.S. in biochemistry from the University of Washington. He took a very meandering path to medicine, exploring areas such as business, bench research, healthcare administration, and mindfulness. He is proud of coordinating a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program while working at the University of Washington Pain Clinic. The best part was attending the MBSR sessions along with the patients. He was moved by their experiences and witnessed the resilience of the human mind and spirit. When he was finally ready for medical school, he was glad to get away from the Seattle traffic and attend the University of Washington Medical School in Spokane, WA. Within a few months, he fell in love with the area. He is thrilled do his residency at PRS and is happy to call Spokane his new home. In his free time, Atiqur loves to fix things (usually after he breaks them while tinkering), play chess, be ignored by his Bengal cat, and go on road trips with his wife.
