Convincing a spinal tumor patient to attempt to poop for the first time in two weeks

It was a perfect way to synthesize my interest in the molecular, biological and biochemical foundations of disease and my love for service to my fellow human.

Allison Guild

Meet Dr. Guild

Besides babysitting and nannying, my first job was being a “dock hand” at a marina on the Mississippi river. I grew up boating, so I loved working outside near the water every day!

Hm, probably England last summer for my friend’s wedding in a castle.

I completed my undergraduate degree at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO and completed medical school at Rocky Vista University in Parker, CO.

I lean towards working in a clinical setting at an academic institution, likely specializing on the oncology side, but I’m not sure yet!

I’d like to think I would be a storm chaser but would probably panic getting close to a tornado. So, in reality, I would likely open a craft store to sell supplies and my own creations.

I love the continuity and relationships I am able to form with patients and families. One thing that is unique about heme/onc as a specialty is the ability to take care of a wide range of diagnoses in a wide variety of settings- from outpatient clinic, to the general medical floor, to the PICU. I love seeing kids when they are healthy and doing well, but also like the chance to help them when they are at their sickest.

Probably just the great relationships I have made with patients as well as my colleagues!

Go to the zoo and then stop for ice cream at Coneflower creamery.
