University of Utah Family Medicine Residency Representative – Mario Pucci, MD

Hometown: Henderson, NV

Medical School: University of Nevada, Reno

Best thing about Utah? Fishing

Favorite way to de-stress: Getting lost in YouTube wormholes and anything and everything water related!

Fun fact: I have been a part of 3 World Records.

Why family medicine? Like most people, I really enjoyed all aspects of medicine once I entered my third year of medical school. I was really passionate about being able to help patients throughout the lifespan, and had developed specific interests in assisting pregnant patients and those with mental health disorders.
