Dr. Wyatt then moved to Cincinnati, Ohio for pediatric internship, residency, and pulmonary fellowship at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. In 2013, Dr. Wyatt returned to his home state of Maine with goals of improving pediatric respiratory health across the state and access to specialty clinical care for Maine’s rural children.
