How’s it going everyone, my name is a Coady Mier. I pursued my undergrad in Microbiology and Biochem at Texas State University followed by medical school at UIWSOM in San Antonio, TX, and finally landed residency here in Corpus Christi at CHRISTUS Spohn Shoreline. Prior to going to undergrad, I was a medical scribe and heard about this awesome ER residency in Corpus Christi (previously at Memorial Hospital, which has since closed and moved to our current location at Christus Spohn Shoreline Hospital); 10 years later, here I am, and I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to be here.
I chose CHRISTUS Health|Texas A&M Emergency Medicine for its incredible high acuity cases seen in the ED, where from day one as an intern you’re doing procedures and managing critical patients. While doing an away ultrasound rotation here during fourth year of med school, I quickly knew this is where I wanted to be, as the hospital is literally across the street from the Corpus Christi Bay waterfront and everyone here at the hospital makes you feel like “family”.
The North Padre Island is located just about twenty minutes away, where you can drive down the beach and build bonfires on the sand (all legally), which is definitely one of my favorite things to do to mentally “decompress”. Outside of residency, I tend to my ever-growing collection of snakes and am currently trying to breed green tree pythons.
