Assoc. Agaasimaha Barnaamijka
Erick Perez Sifontes, MD
Waxaan ahay Agaasimaha Barnaamijka Asxaabta ee Barnaamijka Degenaanshaha Sannadka Kala-guurka ah, door aan ka hayay tan iyo Maarso 2024. Asal ahaan waxa aan ka soo jeeday Venezuela, waxaan u soo guuray Mareykanka 2014-kii, taas oo ii keentay jaceyl qoto dheer oo aan u qabo waxbarashada caafimaadka iyo maareynta bukaanada aadka u xanuunsan. Waxaa iga go'an inaan kobciyo hufnaan iyo hal-abuurnimo dhinaca caafimaadka ah, iyada oo diiradda la saarayo tayaynta khibrada waxbarasho inta lagu jiro degenaanshaha. Waan ku rahaameeyaa oon dadka deegaanka siinayaa qalabka ay u baahan yihiin si ay ugu guulaystaan xirfadahooda.
Ka baxsan nolosheyda xirfadeed, waxaan ku noolahay Dooxada Oro Valley, AZ oo aan la joogo ninkeyga iyo labadeena whippet, Hugo iyo Apollo. Waxaan ahay safar avid ah, isagoo u safray in ka badan 20 dal, oo waxaan ahay mar walba qorsheynaya aan u dalxiisayaa soo socda! Waxyaabaha kale ee aan xiiseyno shaqsi ahaaneed waxaa ka mid ah culayska culayska, yoga, qoob ka ciyaarka salsa, riwaayadaha, iyo rinjiyeynta. Waan jeclahay ku nool koonfurta Arizona waxaana jeclahay lamadegaanka Sonoran iyo waxa ay leedahay oo dhan in ay bixiyaan.
Waxaan rajeynayaa inaan idinla hadlo barnaamijkayaga!
Assistant Director
Jason Wright, M.D.
Jason E. Wright, MD is board certified in internal medicine and radiology and completed fellowships in nuclear medicine and body MRI at the University of Arizona. He graduated from Georgetown University Medical School in 2007 and currently practices abdominal and nuclear radiology in Tucson.
Having trained at Tucson Medical Center during his internal medicine residency and now practicing there as a radiologist, Dr. Wright feels very much at home at TMC and has a deep appreciation for the institution, its people, and its educational mission.
Dr. Wright enjoys working with trainees and is particularly interested in helping interns develop clinical confidence, competence, and empathy as they transition from medical school to residency. His evolving clinical interests include point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), which he sees as a natural bridge between internal medicine and radiology. He has participated in clinical education work in Central America and hopes to continue developing this global health aspect of his career.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Wright’s life centers on his family—his wife of 21 years and their four children, ages 8 to 17—and his faith. He finds joy in music, laughter, and family travel; likes fast cars, the beach, and fishing; and is often exploring new ideas and skills. He was a philosophy major as an undergraduate and currently studies music and piano.
