“I am honored to nominate Dr. Sarah Trahan for the Professor Award, recognizing excellence in clinical education and leadership in naturopathic medicine. Dr. Trahan exemplifies the naturopathic principle of Docere—Doctor as Teacher—through her inspiring mentorship, clinical expertise, and dedication to uncovering the root causes of pain and chronic disease.
As a core clinical faculty member at the Neil Riordan Center for Regenerative Medicine, Dr. Trahan consistently empowers students and residents with practical tools to think critically and holistically. Her integrative approach to interventional and naturopathic pain medicine is not only evidence-informed but deeply rooted in the healing philosophy of our profession.
Dr. Trahan recently shared her expertise on the PainExam Podcast, further expanding awareness of naturopathic medicine’s role in modern pain management. Whether in the clinic, laboratory, or classroom, she brings clarity, compassion, and clinical rigor to every interaction. Her commitment to mentorship, patient-centered care, and investigative curiosity make her a top educator and an invaluable asset to Sonoran University.
Please consider Dr. Sarah Trahan for this recognition as a reflection of her outstanding contributions to naturopathic medical education and her dedication to teaching the next generation of physicians how to find and treat the cause.”
