National Team Rider
New York Medical College
Richland, WA
Hello, Hello. I’m Tim Mitchell, currently a fourth year medical student at New York Medical College. Over the course of my 28 years I have managed to live in a decent number of our 50 great states; WA, NM, ID, TN, MD, NY, MT…it appears as if that list will continue. Over the past 10 years I have been on a slow migration east. Graduating from high school in Richland, WA, attending Carroll College in the beautiful city of Helena, MT, spending a few years in Baltimore, MD performing research at the National Institute on Drug Abuse and eventually ending up in New York for medical school.
My upbringing instilled a great enjoyment and respect for the outdoors as well as the diverse cultures sprinkled throughout the U.S., laying the seeds for an interest in working with the public at a local and global level. These interests have taken me as far as India, where I studied healthcare distribution in developing urban and rural environments and as local as surveying the amphibian populations of Western Montana marshlands.
Ride for World Health creates a perfect blend of my interests. I look forward to friendships that will be forged over the 3700 mile road trip, but I must say though I’m most excited about the opportunity to meet with locals across the country and create a dialogue about healthcare on a global scale. Combining outdoors with educating and motivating the public to work for change, I believe, is the perfect way to end my medical school career. I look forward to the challenge.
