Krista Buckley, MD

Originally from Atlanta, GA she studied Biology and Spanish at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland for undergraduate. After college she took post-bac classes in Atlanta and then moved to NYC and worked in an architecture office. She liked how both architecture and medicine dwell at the intersection of art and science. She ultimately chose medicine over architecture, and after the application process took off on a 6-month around the world trip to South America, Africa, India, Australia and New Zealand. She was able to volunteer in a clinic in Peru and in a slum in Kenya. Dr. Buckley is a specialist in psychiatry with a particular interest in primary care integration and global health. She received her MD at the Robert Larner College of Medicine at UVM and completed her residency at University of Vermont Medical Center. She is got to participate in the Nuvance Global Health program during her residency, learning in Uganda, and is looking forward to continuing to strengthen and expand the education and involvement of the psychiatry residency program in global health.
