Natalie DeWitt

Natalie grew up in a rural town on the Oregon coast, graduating from high school with both an International Baccalaureate Diploma and an Honors diploma. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Lewis & Clark College and the Portland State University Honors College, graduating summa cum laude. Natalie studied psychology with an emphasis on neuroscience and minored in mathematics. 

She gained experience working in crisis while beginning her medical career in high-acuity, secure psychiatric facilities, where she cared for complex patient populations and advanced into leadership roles. Natalie later transitioned into emergency medicine, earning her paramedic degree through the OHSU/Oregon Tech Paramedic Education Program. She went on to work as a paramedic in a busy 911 system and was quickly promoted to a supervisor position. 

Natalie is passionate about providing high-quality patient care, teaching and education, and emergency medicine. She values the interplay between psychology and emergency medicine and incorporates this perspective into both her clinical practice and her approach to education.
