After residency, TJ accepted a position with the Medical Center of the Rockies for UC Health in Colorado.

My name is TJ Gray, and I am in the cardiac surgery tract at the UK academic PA residency program at Baptist Louisville. I am an Iowa native and completed my undergraduate degree at Cornell College in Mt. Vernon IA. I decided to continue my education in medicine and enrolled at the University of South Florida in Tampa, where I achieved a master's degree in medical science with the goal of attending PA school. I was accepted to Indiana State University, where I was fortunate to have clinical experience with a cardiac surgery team. The fine technical and medical skills involved in this specialty had me hooked right away, and I knew quickly that cardiac surgery was where my career would begin. My goal throughout my time in residency is to become a skillful and thoughtful provider as I learn the intricacies of this trade in medicine. Wherever my career may take me, I strive to improve the outcomes of the patients I serve and to enrich the lives of my peers through kindness and diligence.
