Kevin Kinloch, MD, a 2009 graduate of South Whidbey High School, recently completed medical school and will begin his residency at the University of Mississippi in July.

Kinloch, whose family moved to Whidbey Island in 2001, attended elementary school, middle school and high school on South Whidbey. He received his associate degree from Skagit Valley College the same day he graduated from South Whidbey High School. He then attended Western Washington University where he earned a degree in biochemistry with a minor in math.

Kinloch, 25, hopes to become a critical care doctor at the University of Mississippi, according to his mother, Julie Schlageter.
