Welcome to UNC Family Medicine! My name is Yoon Hie (\u201cyoo-nee\u201d) and I\u2019m originally from Durham, North Carolina. My circuitous journey to medicine began at UNC, where I majored in Psychology and International Studies. After college, I worked as a business analyst in the Washington, DC area for two years and also began volunteering at a local retirement community. Soon, I found myself more passionate about spending time with and caring for the residents of the retirement community than I was about my day job. These connections helped spark an interest in a career in medicine, and more specifically, primary care.<\/p>\n
I moved to Boston, MA and completed Tufts University\u2019s post-baccalaureate premedical program (loved the city \u2013 not the weather!). I then returned to NC and served as an Americorps member at the Literacy Council of Wake County, attended UNC for my MPH, and worked as a research coordinator with UNC\u2019s Cancer Center. I attended the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, where I further solidified my interest in Family Medicine.<\/p>\n
Coming into interview season, UNC was already high on my list based on my research throughout the years. By the end of interview season, I felt confident that UNC was the best fit for me as I train to become a well-rounded family physician. UNC truly has everything I am looking for: academic rigor that challenges me to be a better provider; a diverse patient population and commitment to the underserved; strong faculty with a variety of individual interests; a sincere, thoughtful support system; and of course, happy residents who are motivated, kind, intelligent, and good company to boot!<\/p>\n
True to Family Medicine, I\u2019m interested in it all: geriatrics, women\u2019s health, procedures, pediatrics \/ adolescent medicine, OB, ethics, policy \u2013 you name it. I hope to pursue further geriatrics training upon completing residency.<\/p>\n
Outside of medicine, I love spending time with my husband Robin, family, and friends. My interests include snowboarding, biking, yoga, live music\/shows, breweries\/wineries, traveling, reading, and watching movies. I also enjoy watching (almost all) sports and cheering on the Heels!<\/p>\n
