Bethany Gold, DO

Rural Training Program Resident, Rupert

Dr. Bethany Gold is originally from Rexburg, Idaho and graduated from Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine. Before beginning medical school, Dr. Gold dedicated her early career to caring for her family while also engaging in research, teaching yoga, and contributing to her community and church through volunteer work.

Driven by a lifelong curiosity about how the world works—particularly the complexities of the human body and mind—Dr. Gold was drawn to medicine as a way to answer the question of “why” behind illness and pathology. This same spirit of inquiry fuels her passion for cooperative, long-term patient care, where building trust, collaboration, and problem-solving within a therapeutic team are at the heart of their practice.

In residency, Dr. Gold has especially appreciated the strong culture of collaboration and patient-centered care in Pocatello, as well as the supportive network of fellow physicians who share those values. Outside of medicine, she enjoys hiking, walking, or fishing with her dog, playing pickleball and mountain biking with classmates, and spending time outdoors. Dr. Gold is also a musician and avid reader, valuing creativity and lifelong learning.

For Dr. Gold, a perfect weekend in Pocatello ends with curry from Thai Kitchen and a relaxing trip to the hot pots at Lava Hot Springs. Dr. Gold will graduate in 2027.
