Avery Ford

Hometown: Las Vegas, Nevada

About me: Sparked by a procedure in the ED at 8 years young, all I’ve ever wanted to be was a doctor. 4 degrees (and plenty of debt) later, I’m now the first physician in my family and growing into the doctor I once only dared to dream of. Choosing this rewarding field allows me to remain embedded in community needs, especially those of the e underserved. My progress is only through the combination of discipline & numerous mentors, with NFEM continuing this standard! I enjoy training in Gainesville, where each shift is as diverse as the population we serve.

Hobbies: Live music/concerts/performing arts, anything nature-related, unwinding with friends, grilling, and using my passport as often as possible—34 countries so far!
