My mom\u2019s family is from Canton and Leeds. My grandfather worked for International Paper in Jay. My Aunt was delivered by Dr DFD Russel. As the daughter of a high school bio teacher, I spent the school year in Massachusetts and my summers in Hartford, Maine.<\/p>\n<p>My folks built a one room cabin a half mile in from the road. No neighbors, no running water, no electricity. Saturday mornings I listened to cartoons on a shortwave radio. We hiked, canoed, swam, dug in the dirt, read, played musical instruments, and saw deer, bears, moose and a multitude of birds. In college, for me, spring break was always spent in this cabin.<\/p>\n<p>I loved it in western maine and knew it was where I wanted to live forever. So I decided to become a doctor. No, really, I did.\u00a0 While working as a lab assistant in a Harvard neuroscience lab, two years after graduating from Oberlin College, with a biopsycholgy degree, I finally figured out how I could follow the dream of living here. \u00a0By becoming a doctor.<\/p>\n<p>After another 2 years of working full time, taking premed night courses, and racing mountain bikes, I was ready to apply.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/westernfoothillsdpc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/med-school-grad1.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;med school grad1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px|-89px||-17px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/westernfoothillsdpc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/med-school-grad2.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;med school grad2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;85px|-20px||-33px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;23px|15px|0px|0px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/westernfoothillsdpc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DadPhoto-scaled.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;DadPhoto&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px|-43px||-17px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_heading title=&#8221;My Medical School Essay&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/westernfoothillsdpc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/med-school-app.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;med school app&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||-78px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Deb Hamilton, MD Board certified Family Medicine physician since 2001, practicing in the Farmington area for 20 years.
