Dr. Tackett spent more than 10 years in a private cardiology practice in California before moving to the Pacific Northwest. She served as chair of the cardiovascular department and also as chief of staff at French Hospital Medical Center in San Luis Obispo, Calif. She completed her medical training at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine in Lexington, Ky., with a residency in internal medicine at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Ariz. She trained in cardiovascular medicine as a fellow at the University of Kentucky. She describes how she chose to practice medicine, “My mom went to nursing school when I was 11 years old. I used to read her homework to her while she prepared dinner, did laundry, etc. I enjoyed the subject matter and she enjoyed nursing. When I was choosing an educational and career path, I think her influence and experience was formative.” Outside of clinic, Dr. Tackett likes to hike, travel, read and follow University of Kentucky basketball – Go Cats!
