Gretchen Hansten

2020-2022, Undergraduate Assistant

I graduated from the University of Idaho in 2021 with a B.S. in Animal & Veterinary Sciences with a minor in Pre-Health Studies. With my background in agriculture and passion for human medicine, my goal is to become a primary care physician focused on improving health and access to healthcare in rural America. I was excited to work in Dr. Luckhart’s lab and learn more about how vector-borne diseases affect rural and agricultural populations across the globe.

As of summer 2022, I am a Certified Nursing Assistant/Health Unit Coordinator in the Medical Surgical Unit at Gritman Medical Center in Moscow, Idaho, working and studying to apply to medical school.
