I graduated from University of Texas at Dallas and attended Midwestern University’s Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine. One day I will return to the great lone star state, but until then I’ll be working in Kansas for my first job out of residency!

Kate Kimes, D.O.

I am a 4th year dermatology resident at the military program in San Antonio, TX. I grew up in Idaho and graduated from Whitworth University, a private liberal arts college in Washington state. I went to medical school at Midwestern University’s Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine thanks to the Army’s generous health professionals scholarship program (HPSP), and I fell in love with the Phoenix area. I owe four years to the Army after I graduate residency, at a location yet to be determined (not by me!).A
