Dr. Putnam is originally from central Maine. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from Colby College and her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine. While completing a Pre-Doctoral OPP and Anatomy Fellowship, she received the W. Hadley Hoyt, Jr Award. The award recognizes students who are "committed to the osteopathic profession and life-long learning." Most recently, she completed her residency in Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine at Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, where she also served as Adjunct OMM Faculty during her residency, teaching both first- and second-year students.
Dr. Putnam enjoys teaching the students and fellows at RVUCOM, and hopes to be a strong mentor for them during their medical school and residency years. Prior to RVU, she received the W. Hadley Hoyt, Jr Award upon completing her Pre-Doctoral OPP and Anatomy Fellowship from UNECOM. The award recognizes students who are “committed to the osteopathic profession and life-long learning.”
A true "Mainah," Dr. Putnam enjoys skiing, ice hockey, and New England sports teams. An interesting fact about her is that, as an undergraduate student, she was offered the opportunity to play field hockey in Barbados and Australia as part of a US Division III All-American Team.
