Arteaga, Dayana, DO

My name is Dayana Arteaga and I am a fourth year psychiatry resident. I will be graduating as a psychiatrist from UMKC in June of this year, and I am immensely excited about this. I completed my psychiatry training in both the University of Oklahoma and University of Missouri-Kansas City. Following graduation I will start a job with the Cox inpatient psychiatric hospital in Springfield, Missouri.

My dream growing up was to become a physician, and every day I wake up smiling because with hard work and dedication I made this dream a reality. I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in Microbiology and Magna Cum Laude Honors in 2012, and shortly after began my medical studies at the Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. I graduated with the degree of Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine in 2016. I enjoy Psychiatry very much, and feel honored to care for psychiatric patients every day. I also enjoy the arts, classical music, and books that speak to my soul. I believe that hope can make all the difference!
