Colin Kavanaugh, MD, is drawn to rural family medicine because of the opportunity to do something different every day. He is interested in working with his hands to do procedures and he wants to practice full scope medicine in a small town. Colin is from Sandwich, IL and he earned his bachelor’s degree in Health Science from Bradley University in Peoria, IL. Colin went on to participate in the Rural Medical Education Program at the University of Illinois College of Medicine – Rockford. In this program, Colin saw firsthand what it meant to be a rural full-scope family medicine physician. He also conducted research on the stigma towards mental illness in rural communities. Drawing on his passion for exploring the outdoors, he created a wilderness medicine interest group. Colin is interested in teaching learners and served as a clinical mentor. Colin enjoys developing relationships with his patients and his favorite interactions are when patients feel comfortable to speak casually and trust that he has their best interest in mind. Colin and his wife love spending time in the great outdoors – hiking, fishing, boating, and spending time at the lake. He also enjoys hunting and cooking different fresh fish and wild-game recipes.
