“A lot of times when people find out what I do for a living, they say I couldn’t imagine doing that and actually for me, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.”As a former Amphibious Task Force and THIRD Fleet Surgeon, Dr. Poss has traveled the world.

We discuss why he chose Utah, what a Pediatric Intensivist is, the new MD/MBA dual degree program that is being offered here at UUSOM, and finally, why it is important to take advantage of every opportunity in education.
