Tandy Korte, MD
First-Year Fellow
Bio
Residency: University of Missouri-Columbia School of Medicine
Medical School: University of Illinois College of Medicine
Bio: Tandy Korte is a first-year fellow in Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. She earned her medical degree at the University of Illinois and completed her pediatric residency at the University of Missouri. Tandy returns to Columbia with over two decades of experience in general pediatrics. She worked in southern Illinois serving patients and families in the nursery as well as inpatient/outpatient pediatrics. While being a pediatrician was very rewarding, Tandy was increasingly frustrated at lack of services and prolonged wait times for services for her patients with developmental disabilities. This served as her motivation to return for more training. Tandy enjoys spending time with her family, husband Mark and son Nicholas and clowder of rescue cats Jack, CJ, Clem, Fig, and Rosie. She is training for her first marathon and trying to improve as a watercolor painter. Tandy is excited to be involved in the TIPS program and to gain more knowledge of interprofessional care to better serve her patients in the future.
