Maiya Smith, MD (She/Her)

I was born in NY, lived in Tokyo until 1st grade then moved to my favorite place in the world, Hawaii. I decided to move across the country for college to Emory University where I majored in Anthropology and Human Biology. I saw an email for an EMT course and thought it sounded cool and ended up being an EMT in Atlanta for three years. I loved everything about the people I worked with, how fast paced it was, and how I got to work with patients in some of their most vulnerable moments. This background was the reason I decided on Emergency Medicine!
