Dr. Peterson grew up in Eugene, OR and attended the University of Oregon graduating with a degree in Computer and Information Science. He subsequently worked as a software engineer in Seattle, WA for several years before searching for more from his existence. A lifelong traveler, he spent a year exploring the world before settling in Boston, MA where he began to pursue a career in medicine. He designed electronic medical record systems during the day and took classes at night. He was accepted to and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine before moving to New York where he completed his residency at New York Presbyterian Hospital of Cornell and Columbia. Eager to explore humanism in emergency medicine, he further specialized by completing a fellowship in Hospice and Palliative Medicine at Columbia. Dr. Peterson enjoys the outdoors-whether hiking, rafting, or just exploring with his amazing wife.
