I grew up in the Midwest and moved to Seattle for residency sight unseen (and love it here). Find me playing outside, eating new food around town, or crocheting on my time off.
Dilara Onur, MD
Dilara Onur, MD Executive Resident (she/her/hers)
I am the daughter of Turkish immigrants, sister to a real scientist, and mother of a doodle named Remy. My friends would describe me as silly, sarcastic, and loving. I am happiest when I am outside by the water, with a beverage in one hand and my camera in the other. At work, I am usually bumping music in the team room or using silliness as a way to get through a stressful day. Outside of the hospital I am either taking photos, cooking for friends, or spending time with my fiancé Travis and dog Remy.

Why UW Pediatrics/Seattle Children’s? Coming from a med school that didn’t have a stand-alone children’s hospital, it was important to me to be at a place where I would get lots of exposure to high acuity patients, bread + butter diseases as well as more rare conditions. The culture at Seattle Children’s is truly unmatched – my co-residents are so kind, genuine, and supportive and everyone at the hospital is dedicated to providing the best care to our smallest of patients.

Why UW Pediatrics/Seattle Children’s? It was the program that took a chance on me without knowing me (I hadn’t done any rotation here or knew anyone here). Apart from being a great program, it aligned with my core values. Everyone at my interview made me feel welcome and appreciated. I had the opportunity to interview with a faculty member I really admire; she shared a little of her passions and projects, and it just clicked and aligned with mine. I knew I wanted to train in a place where she was working.

Why UW Pediatrics/Seattle Children’s? I had the opportunity to complete an away rotation at Seattle Children’s in Rheumatology during my MS4 year. I fell in love with the people, the program, and the city!

I grew up in San Francisco and moved to the east coast for college at Colby College in Maine.

I was born and raised in the Bay Area in California. I completed my undergrad degree (bio major with religious studies minor) at Gonzaga University in Spokane WA, where I did ecological climate change research, studied abroad in Ecuador, played rugby, and fell in love with the state of Washington. Medical school took me to St. Louis, Missouri, where I met my partner (who is not in medicine), adopted two cats, and realized my calling in Pediatrics. I’m thrilled to now be in Seattle for residency!
