He received his MD and MPH degrees from Yale University School of Medicine, and completed a joint residency in Family Medicine and General Preventive Medicine/Public Health at Oregon Health and Sciences University (OHSU). Directly after training, he joined the Department of Family Medicine at OHSU and became the medical director of the Scappoose Clinic, a federally designated Rural Health Center (RHC).
