Mary
Acosta
MD
Background
I was born in Miami, Florida and raised in West Palm Beach. I traveled to the Midwest for college, earning a degree in Science–Business at the University of Notre Dame. Next, I returned to Florida for medical school at Florida Atlantic University. I completed my internal medicine residency at the University of Chicago, where I also
served as a chief resident and went on to complete my general cardiology fellowship. I am now looking forward to moving to the West Coast to pursue my Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Fellowship at the University of Washington. Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter and am
excited to explore Seattle and the Pacific Northwest together!
