Meet Grace Carey, MD (she/her), class of 2025 and chief resident.

A: Shelburne, Vermont
Q: What’s your educational background prior to residency?
A: I completed my bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and movement science at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and obtained my MD from the University of Michigan Medical School.

A: I knew that for residency I wanted to be at a large academic medical center that treats complex patients while allowing for ample opportunity to pursue other personal and professional interests. Not only does UW-Madison work to provide mentorship in multiple fields, but the 3+1 structure will allow me to develop additional interests along the way. On top of the incredible faculty and program, the city of Madison offers amazing food and activities in a beautiful setting! I can’t wait for what the next 3+ years bring.
