Biography

Dr. Tarver completed her Bachelor of Arts in Visual Art from Millsaps College in 2000 and completed her Doctor of Medicine, followed by a 4-year residency in Emergency Medicine, from the University of Mississippi Medical Center in 2009. After her residency training, she began a career in community emergency medicine in the Florida Panhandle, while her husband served as a V-22 Osprey pilot and active duty service member in the United States Air Force. In 2014, Dr. Tarver continued her work in community emergency medicine in Albuquerque, New Mexico, when her husband became stationed as an Air Force V-22 Instructor Pilot at Kirtland Air Force Base. In 2018, Dr. Tarver and her family moved from New Mexico to Mississippi, their home of origin. Since that time, she has served as an educator and clinical faculty member within the Department of Emergency Medicine at her alma mater, the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC). In June 2022, Dr. Tarver completed a simulation fellowship at UMMC. Dr. Tarver works as a full-time nocturnist within the UMMC Adult Emergency Department and maintains an active interest in the utilization of immersive learning via simulation education for healthcare trainees.
