Shannon Talbot is a board-certified internal medicine physician and is currently board-eligible in cardiovascular medicine.

She grew up in Washington and California as a child, loving the outdoors and loving science. She went to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for her undergraduate training where she majored in physiology (and minored in classical civilizations with an emphasis in Greek and Roman civilizations). She then went on to work for UCLA in their hematology-oncology, infectious disease, and liver transplant departments as a research coordinator, learning the love of clinical research. During her time at UCLA, she realized that she was intrigued by not only the science of the human body but also the incredible stories of her patients. It was during this time that she knew that she wanted to pursue medicine.

She attended medical school at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts. She then returned to the West to complete her residency in internal medicine, chief residency, and fellowship in cardiology at the University of Utah.

In the realm of cardiovascular medicine, her emphasis is general cardiology. She focuses on holistic, patient-centered care in the treatment and management of coronary artery disease, valvular disease and heart failure. She enjoys chronic cardiovascular disease management, lifestyle counseling and patient education which she incorporates into her daily practice.

Outside of the hospital setting, she enjoys spending time with her husband, Brian, and their Jack Russel terrier, Bandit. She also enjoys cooking for her family, weight-lifting, yoga and hiking in our beautiful mountains.
