Gretchen Nonawzki

Chief Resident 2024-2025

Where they are practicing: Sacremento, CA

Hometown: Portland, OR

About me: I love to explore and live in new areas, which is what has taken me all over the country in the past 10+ years. This also means that I have taken a long and winding road to emergency medicine (including a prior residency in family medicine), but there is nowhere else I’d rather be right now! This is a great program with amazing people and endless opportunities for a well-rounded emergency medicine education. 

Hobbies: exploring the great outdoors, finding my way through all 50 states, collecting snow globes from my travels, spending hours playing new board games, learning new crafts (most recently crochet), relaxing at home with our miniature dachshund, and keeping up with women’s soccer (while making my wife a supporter of my Portland Thorns, as pictured above)

Post-Residency Plans: Attending Physician, Sacramento, CA
