She completed her medical degree at the University of Missouri School of Medicine in Columbia, Missouri, followed by residency training in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Mayo Clinic.
Dr. Egan’s clinical practice focuses on thoracic oncology including the evaluation and management of lung nodules, lung masses, thoracic adenopathy, lung cancer, pleural disease, and cancer treatment-related pulmonary toxicity.
