Dr. Jessica Blancett was born in Boise, Idaho and was raised on a small farm in Meridian. She grew up working on the farm, spending time with her family in McCall tubing on the lake and snowmobiling, and working on a commercial fishing crew in Alaska during the summers.
Dr. Blancett attended undergrad at Whitworth University and while there, studied abroad in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Guatemala. She graduated with degrees in Biochemistry and Spanish. Following undergrad, she volunteered as an AmeriCorps VISTA for 1 year in Tucson, Arizona working at a community health center.
Dr. Blancett then attended Pacific Northwest University for medical school. She utilized her passion for providing medical care to patients in their most comfortable language by serving on the leadership teams of the Spanish Club and Global Health Club. She was privileged to return home to Idaho to complete her clinical years. Now, she is excited to be able to continue working in and serving her community as a resident at Full Circle Health.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Blancett loves to spend time with her husband, her dog, her family, and friends. She enjoys playing her violin with the worship team at her church, working on woodworking and art projects, having fun at family game nights, baking and cooking, and exploring Idaho with her husband, Nick, and dog, Cinder.
