Hi everyone! My name is Ben, and I'm a second-year med student originally from a small town outside of Chicago. I went to Northwestern University for undergrad and graduated in 2023 with a degree in Economics. During college and my gap year, I was involved in neuroscience research, focusing on basic science ALS studies. Since moving to Durham, I've continued my favorite hobbies—running, hiking, golfing, and biking—and at DukeMed, I'm involved with SUPORTS, FGLI Med, and Medicine in Motion. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat about coming from a rural background, navigating medicine as a FGLI student, or how to stay active and balanced during med school!
