Connor Timmons, DO

Where are you from? Timpson, Texas

What are your personal interests/hobbies? Food, disc golf, church, staying in shape for the Air Force

What are your professional interests? Rural emergency medicine, wilderness medicine

Why did you choose U of A emergency medicine? When I found out I could train at the University of Arizona through its affiliation with the Air Force, I couldn't have been more ecstatic. The location, residents, staff and program were all the right fit for me and my goals as a military physician. 

What is your favorite activity in Tucson or what attracted you to Tucson besides the residency program? Tucson has a beautiful landscape, and it also has little to no snow in the winter. Being from Texas, I knew I wanted to avoid the snowy winters, and Arizona was the way to stay warm throughout the year.

What are your nonmedical goals during residency? I plan to visit all of the top restaurants in Tucson, maintain some semblance of an exercise routine and stay in contact with family/friends on a frequent basis.
