Dr. Miranda Crouch was born and raised in Jamestown, TN, a small town nestled within the beautiful Cumberland Plateau. She completed her undergraduate studies in Microbiology at the University of Tennessee (GO VOLS!) and her PhD in Biochemistry at the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. Her thesis work focused on improving the humoral immune response in obesity through modulation of omega-3 fatty acid lipid mediators. She completed medical school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Currently, Miranda is a third-year family medicine resident physician at the Family Medicine Residency of Idaho in Boise. Her interests within medicine include hospital medicine, rural medicine, addiction medicine, nutrition, women’s health, sports medicine, and preventative medicine (to name a few). Outside of medicine, Miranda enjoys landscape photography, hiking, travel, trying out new cooking recipes, spending time with loved ones, and wearing TN orange most days of the year while she cheers on her VOLS.
