- Sociedad y cultura
Darcey Hull will soon be starting her residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation after slowly winding her way to this point. The arts, cultures, languages, and helping people have always been huge interests of Darcey’s. She has always loved traveling and outdoor adventures, and was always encouraged to explore and express herself by her parents. They took her and her brother hiking in the Rocky Mountains every summer growing up, had exchange students, and extensively traveled and lived abroad before starting a family. Darcey has always believed in and been interested in self-expression, and the positive transformation which it can bring, as a healing modality for all people. This is what kept Darcey interested in the Arts, and then pulled her into teaching yoga, studying Speech Language Pathology, and now into Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

So many of us pursue a college degree that turns out to be quite different than the career path we ultimately choose. Darcey Hull knows this story well; in her mid-thirties, she’s about to start a new chapter as a resident, focused on physical medicine and rehabilitation. As Darcey explains, 17 years ago she started her education journey focused on that arts; but a chance conversation with classmates would change her path forever when she decided to take a neuroscience class.
Falling in love with the class was easy: it gave an opportunity to use her art skills as she drew and studied her work, and the subject matter was fascinating. After changing her major and finishing classes, Darcey had to decide: what would she do with a neuroscience degree?
Joining us to share her story, Darcey explains her journey from arts to physical medicine, the benefit of social interaction for patients and how she hopes to address that need one day, and the importance of travel, yoga, and meditation when it comes to staying balanced and pursuing the things that bring her joy.
