Patricia Miguez Arosemena, MD
Postdoctoral Fellow
Cardiovascular Medicine

Patricia was born in Panama City, Panama. She grew up surrounded by conversations related to construction since both her parents and her siblings work together in a family business mainly dedicated to construction. For a few years, she thought about becoming an architect too, but later she realized she deeply admired the human connection a doctor can have with their patients, that’s why she decided to become a doctor herself.

During medical school, she did electives rotations in Chile, Spain, and the United States giving her experience in different health care systems. In 2018 she graduated from Universidad Latina de Panama and she is currently applying for an internal medicine residency. In the meantime, she is at the University of Utah doing research on amyloidosis and heart failure under the guidance of Dr. Nativi-Nicolau. She enjoys outdoor activities and playing ultimate Frisbee.
