DIO and Physician Fellowship Program Director
Dr. Ursula McVeigh is the Designated Institutional Official for the Providence Alaska Graduate Medical Education (GME) programs and Program Director of the Providence Alaska Hospice and Palliative Medicine fellowship.
Ursula completed medical school training at Yale in 1999, internal medicine residency training at the University of Vermont Medical Center in 2002 and worked as a teaching hospitalist until attending the Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital in 2008. She moved to Alaska in 2014 to join the Providence Alaska Medical Group Palliative Care Services, and served as both medical director of hospice and palliative care.
Ursula was born in New York. She was drawn to Alaska for its cultural diversity and for both urban and rural (and then very rural) populations and the creativity involved in helping people in such different environments and the opportunity to contribute to graduate medical education programs. She greatly enjoys the outdoors and spends her time hiking, cross country skiing and exploring Alaska.
