Dr. Bayo Curry-Winchell
I started my medical career as a Physician Assistant in 2005. I worked in family medicine & urgent care for 3 years before applying to medical school in 2008. I completed my residency with UNR in 2015. During my time at UNR I was awarded resident teaching honors and I was nominated for awards for outstanding patient care.
After completing residency, I took a position with Saint Mary’s Urgent Care that included leadership responsibilities which soon transitioned into a Medical Director position. In 2015 I also took on a volunteer role as the Assistant Medical Examiner with the Washoe County CARES program where I examine victims of child abuse. In 2016 I was appointed to the PR chair for the Washoe County Medical Society.
I was part of a discussion panel hosted by USA Today on Millennial’s in health care, I have authored articles for Reno Mom’s Blog and I work with the Women and Children’s Center of the Sierras to bring awareness to the work they do to help families in need.

Because most of the viruses seen this flu season are a match for the types found in the vaccine, this year’s flu vaccine is highly effective. There is even a version that is egg free, so that every person over the age of six months may receive this year’s vaccine. The peak flu season is just hitting, if you haven’t been immunized for this year’s flu, now is the time.
