Lakita Maulson, MD

 Boozhoo (Hello)! I am a proud member of the Lac du Flambeau Ojibwe Nation in Northern Wisconsin where I grew up and am a first-generation college graduate  of UW-Madison where I obtained my degree in Kinesiology. I then completed a research year prior to starting medical school at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health as a member of the Wisconsin Academy for Rural Medicine. I also obtained a General Management MBA degree from UW-Parkside during a year off of medical school. I am excited to be moving to the Southwest to train in Family Medicine at a program that is highly dedicated to serving the underserved. This is a huge passion of mine, especially as it pertains to Indigenous health and wellbeing. Family Medicine’s approach spoke to me as it prioritizes taking the time to address patients’ underlying psychological and social needs alongside their medical needs. To me this is the best way to care for individuals, families, and an entire community. Specific areas of interest I have include office procedures, addiction medicine, Tribal health, global health, maternal and child health and education/teaching. In my free time, I like to cook/bake, travel, fish, hike, read, play basketball, and hang out with family and friends.
