 I’m Megan and I am a PA student at the University of Washington in Seattle. I was born and raised in Soldotna and am excited to come back to my hometown and build on all the knowledge and skills I’ve gained throughout my training. I grew up doing all the fun things Alaskan kids do - hiking, camping, fishing, and flying with my dad. I look forward to meeting you all as I continue my clinical training at Odyssey!  

 Looking forward to meeting you, I’m Kara Hawker, a student working toward my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree at Seattle University. Before I decided to change careers, I worked in cardiology, performing cardiac ultrasound and electrophysiology studies. I am fascinated by the heart, and I hope you will let me listen to yours. Although I am not from Kenai, my parents have lived here for 15 years. I love to visit, and you may see me out fishing but probably not catching anything 

 Hello! My name is Megan Janorschke and I’ll be learning from the outstanding team at Odyssey Family Practice for the next few months. I’m a Physician Assistant student in the MEDEX program through the University of Washington. I grew up in Soldotna and enjoy many of the Alaskan adventures like fishing and hiking. I love staying fit by lifting weights and rowing. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon!
