I am a board-certified family medicine physician who enjoys teaching and tutoring. I have a Doctorate degree in Osteopathic Medicine, a B.S. in Biology, and minors in Chemistry and Psychology. As pa... rt of my undergraduate and graduate degrees, I have extensive education in biology, biochemistry, and human physiology. I also have multiple years of hands-on clinical experience. My first experience in working in teaching and mentorship was as a high school track & field coach. I was an assistant coach for 7 seasons while attending college. While in college, I was employed by the university as a physics tutor for 2 years. I then worked for a medical transcription company named Scribe America, as part of which I trained and taught new hires medical terminology, documentation, and basics of disease processes. I took a hiatus from teaching during medical school, but during my family medicine residency, I taught and mentored many medical students and junior physicians. I did 10 large-group (30+) presentations, more than 40 small group presentations, and countless 1-on-1 teaching sessions. I was Chief Resident in my final year, and I also completed a Faculty Development clinical rotation. I recently graduated and am hoping to get back into teaching while taking a year-long break from medical practice.read more

Hi all! I'm Ben. I'm a board-certified family medicine physician who's looking to help others achieve their full potentials. I grew up in rural Indiana in a house surrounded by cornfields on all fo... ur sides. I went to a regional campus of Indiana University in my hometown. When my high school track coach found out I was attending college locally, he asked me to return as an assistant coach. Thus began my first mentorship role. I coached track & field every spring until I graduated college. I worked full-time in college. In addition to coaching, I also tutored physics for the university, served tables, catered events, and worked as a medical scribe in the local emergency room. As part of my job as a scribe, I taught medical terminology and basics of diseases to others. While tutoring physics and teaching medical topics, I found a love for helping others to achieve what I had achieved. Luckily I got into my most desired medical school on my first try. The only way to get through medical school is to employ every tip, tool, and technique to retain as much information as possible. And that's exactly what I did. I learned to reframe topics in ways that were easy to remember. When I got to residency, I used those skills to teach medical students and junior residents. In my final year of residency, I did a teaching elective. I am hoping to go into teaching medicine someday very soon!read more
