Hi, my name is Stephen McDonough and I attended Boston University: Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences where I obtained my B.S. in Human Physiology. During my time as an undergrad, I gained patient care experiences at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Tufts Medical Center, and Boston Medical Center in Cardiothoracic Surgery and Pediatrics. Another hobby of mine during undergrad was working with a global health initiative called Partners in Health where we aimed to provide healthcare resources to some of the poorest countries in the world. After graduation, I worked in a private cosmetic dermatology office in Newton, Massachusetts as a surgical technician. I enjoy spending my free time running road races or relaxing on the beaches of Cape Cod with my friends and family.
