[INFLAMMATORY STATEMENT OF SELF DISCLOSURE IN THE OUTPATIENT PSYCHIATRY CLINIC], Poetry by Dannen Wright

Dannen Wright graduated as a member of the University of Utah School of Medicine class of 2019 and completed her general psychiatry residency at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill in 2023. She’s returned to the Mountain West and now works as an outpatient psychiatrist at the Boise VA Medical Center. In her spare time, you can find her devouring books, trying a new crafting hobby, or emulating the Barefoot Contessa by making dinner (with dessert!) for her friends and family.
