Dr. Cori McClure Poffenberger grew up in Southern Oregon, where she used to complain about Californians until she decided to become one. She attended Stanford University for her undergraduate studies, then moved to Nashville to complete her MD at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. She returned to Stanford for her Emergency Medicine residency, but ended up completing residency at Harbor-UCLA in Torrance, where she also did her ultrasound fellowship.
