Nathan

 Oh hello there, welcome to my page. My name is Nathan and I am a medical student here at sunny Creighton University, where people go. My hobbies, in addition to saving lives, include playing the drums, walking, and having very heated debates about the best methods of survival in a post apocalyptic setting.  

On a more serious level, I was born in North Carolina to a military family (mother is Navy, father is Marine Corps) they now live in Logan IA population <10. I went to Creighton for my undergraduate education in Chemistry and have known I wanted to become a doctor from the age of 10. My goals are to work as an anesthesiologist somewhere in the North West.

This mission will give me a chance to learn and practice medicine in a very rural setting. In addition to teaching me about the culture and how medicine is viewed in the East, it will allow me to understand how people who do not see a physician on a regular basis react to westernized medicine and thus, help me learn the best ways to assimilate my knowledge with their culture. During this trip I hope to become more skilled in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases that are not often seen in America but are very prevalent in developing nations.
