Tausha Allen initially began her career as a registered nurse and found a passion in working with the geriatric population. She then decided to pursue additional education and obtained her Doctor of Osteopathy degree from Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine in North Carolina. She then completed her Internal Medicine residency at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. Between her love for the community and her love of teaching, she chose to remain in the area and continues working as a Hospitalist at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, and also serves as a member of core faculty for the Internal Medicine residency program. She is also actively involved in the medical staff, serving as Chair of the Department of Medicine, Geriatric Liaison on the Trauma committee, and as a member of the Antimicrobial Stewardship committee. She believes that her patients deserve excellent care and strives for that goal every day. When she is not working she is spending time with her beautiful children, trying to learn how to golf, and dreaming up home improvement projects for her husband.
