Mark is a graduate of UNH and Dartmouth Medical School and has been a family physician in group practice in Durham, New Hampshire since 1994. His clinical focus is primary prevention. He has particular interest in the application of mindfulness principles to the wide variety of clinical issues in which behavior change is a goal in adopting and maintaining healthier habits. These include the prevention and treatment of obesity, mood disorders, and cardiovascular disease, among others. A goal in his involvement with TCME is to more effectively teach the principles of mindfulness and to apply them to a wider array of clinical problems. He sees the broad range of experience represented within the TCME Board as a rich resource by which the application of mindfulness principles may be more effectively presented to patients, as well as the medical community. Mark feels that, ultimately, these principles are simply a basic component of a healthy way of life.
Mark has two daughters and enjoys running, paddling and woodworking in his spare time.
