Cersten Bradley, MD

Before family medicine residency brought her home to Texas, third-year resident Cersten Bradely, MD, studied all over. Her undergrad degree is from Louisiana State University, where she was a student athlete on the Tiger Girls Dance team. From there, she took a couple of gap years, working as a medical assistant and living a “double life,” so she says, as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. She then began her medical school journey as an IMG in Mexico, completed clinical years in Las Vegas, and is now in residency at UT Health San Antonio. “It’s been a whirlwind,” says Bradley, “but I wouldn’t trade any part of it.”
