Matthew Lommen, MD

Hometown: St. Charles, MN I chose MIR because: MIR's reputation for excellent clinical training, large alumni network, and great vibes during interviews. My teachable medical school moment: Needle poke during surgery rotation. Be honest about the mistakes you make during training while you have oversight. Now is the time to learn from them. My personal interests: I enjoy canoe trips, travel, DIY projects, trying new restaurants, and all things Minnesota sports. My favorite go-to meal: Pork chops I'm excited about living in St. Louis because: Warmer weather and all the new restaurants to try.
