Meet our Student Intern

Sydney Kerzie


A Northern-California Native, Sydney Kerzie has always had a passion for working in healthcare. After watching her own family member’s struggle in the conventional medical system, she felt drawn to making a difference in medicine and being a voice for those who didn’t fit the “one size fits all” approach to care. Outside the clinic, Sydney's love of wellness extends well beyond medicine. She enjoys spending time with her high school sweetheart, and their rescue dog, Scotch. She has a passion for cooking, gardening, exercising, and enjoying the beautiful outdoors of Idaho. She is excited to be bringing well-woman exams to NMI, and making care from head to toe a breeze. Sydney is currently working on the State of Idaho Naturopathic Medical Doctor licensure examinations and is booking patients for the Spring. Don't be surprised if your appointment with Sydney ends with a standout recipe recommendation or the name of your next favorite local restaurant.
