Anne Koronkiewicz, D.O.

I was born and raised in a suburb on the southwest side of Chicago (Evergreen Park, IL).  I am a triplet (1 sister and 1 brother), and I also have a younger sister.  Both of my sisters are in healthcare, too – a nurse and a physical therapist.  Growing up, I was always playing sports, and in high-school I was a year-round swimmer. I attended undergrad at DePaul University in Chicago where I studied biology and psychology. During that time, I was involved in traumatic brain injury research. After graduating, I worked as a lab technician at Northwestern University’s Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer’s Disease Center, where I developed an interest in patient care and research for neurological conditions. I went on to medical school at Midwestern University Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine, and I am excited to continue my training in neurology at Michigan State University.

Hometown:

Evergreen Park, IL

Why did you choose to become part of Michigan State University Neurology?

I completed a 1 month neurology rotation at Michigan State University during my fourth year as a medical student.  The welcoming environment surpassed my expectations.  The faculty are dedicated to teaching, the residents work well together, and I believe the program will provide me with the skills and support necessary to develop into a well-rounded neurologist with many options for sub-specialty experience.

If you were not a doctor, what would you have chosen as a career?

High-school science teacher.

Extracurricular interests and activities:

Swimming, biking, playing sports (tennis, walleyball, softball, disc golf), following Chicago sports teams, spending time with friends and family.
