Q&A with Taylor Krings, PA-C
What drew you to medicine?
There are so many reasons I chose to work in medicine. For one, I love getting to talk with others and knew a career in medicine would allow me to work with a large variety of people. I also desired a career that allowed me to use my critical thinking skills and be challenged. I think it is fascinating how science is able to impact our health and it is so fun getting to play a role in that!

Dance- I grew up in studio dance and taught at my aunt’s dance studio in high school and college
My 2 Australian Shephards
