Cale Hinkle (E-22)

Cale was born and raised in Lander, Wyoming. After graduating from the University of Wyoming with a Bachelor of Science in economics, he became a fly fishing guide for a tribal outfitter on the Wind River Indian Reservation. Cale’s first thoughts of medicine came on the banks of the Wind River while guiding a local physician with an infectious passion for medicine. Inspired by the encounter and a strong desire to impact his community positively, Cale became involved in local healthcare. Every experience in the field solidified his love of medicine and motivated him to pursue it as a career. Cale’s a proud citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation. His mission as a future physician is to serve Indigenous communities and work to reduce health inequities for AI/AN populations. When not pursuing his medical education, you can find Cale chasing trout, biking, or taking evening strolls with his wonderful family– his wife and their two daughters.
