Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine graduate Kyanna Cusick, MD (’24), is already paying it forward as a second-year diagnostic radiology resident at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona by mentoring WSU medical students during away rotations.

Fourth-year MD students Nathan Savolainen and Lauren Lee recently completed radiology rotations at Mayo with support from Dr. Cusick. Savolainen completed an interventional radiology elective and Lee completed a diagnostic radiology elective.

Thank you, Dr. Cusick, for mentoring the next generation of radiologists and continuing our tradition of Cougs helping Cougs!
