Biography:
Tessa Moore is a Family Medicine resident who grew up in the small northeastern Washington town of Colville. From an early age she fell in love with the wide-open spaces and immense support of her rural community. She ventured out to the bay area for college, studying biology, and then eagerly came back to Washington to work on rural health disparity research at the University of Washington. She ultimately attended medical school at the University of Washington as well, and was a part of their Targeted Rural Underserved Track, which allowed her to longitudinally work in Port Townsend, WA throughout medical school. She is committed to practicing full spectrum rural medicine and meeting the needs of her community. She plans to stay in eastern Washington after completing her residency. Outside of medicine she enjoys mountain biking, rock climbing, picnicking, and spending time with her dogs and husband.
