Minyoung Park, DO
Medical School: Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine
Family Medicine Residency: Stony Brook Southampton Hospital
Pronunciation of Dr. Minyoung Park
Prior to medical training, Dr. Minyoung Park spent many years between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, PA after emigrating from South Korea at an early age. She graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a bachelor’s in neuroscience, and subsequent public health experiences in AmeriCorps/National Health Corps Philadelphia inspired her core values in primary care and working with underserved communities. She completed medical school at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in New York City and family medicine residency at Stony Brook Southampton in Long Island, New York.
Her reluctance to drive while living in three major cities sparked her passion for road and mountain biking, in addition to long walks. Minyoung has also had an inclination for long-distance running since her high school track years and continues to run for leisure. She looks forward to not only continuing these hobbies in Maine, but also to providing excellent musculoskeletal care for the Maine community and beyond.
Natalie Thom, MD
Medical School: Boston University School of Medicine
Family Medicine Residency: BayHealth Medical Center
Pronunciation of Dr. Natalie Thom
Pronouns: she/her
Natalie is originally from the Washington, D.C. area and is excited to return to New England for sports medicine training. Her passion for sports began at a young age on swim and track & field teams, which by high school also included cross-country and rowing teams. She completed undergraduate education at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where she rowed on the women’s crew team and later began running full marathons.
Her journey then brought her back home to George Washington University for a master’s in public health microbiology and infectious diseases, Boston University for medical school, and, finally, Bayhealth in Delaware for residency training. During residency she had the opportunity to complete a search and rescue course in Salt Lake City where she was able to rock climb, hike, and trail run every day to her heart’s content while becoming more well-versed in incident command systems, rope techniques, avalanche rescue, cave rescue, and other components of SAR. She is an avid runner and has an interest in endurance and running medicine, as well as climbing medicine and sports nutrition. Natalie is thrilled to pursue her dream of being a sports medicine physician and is looking forward to what this next year at Maine-Dartmouth has to bring.
