Brian Lewis, MD, MPH

"Brian was born in Greensboro, North Carolina, where he was active as a youth with a mix of soccer and service organizations. He studied biology and chemistry at UNC-Chapel Hill where he received a science scholarship his sophomore year to study abroad in England.  After his science curriculum was complete, Brian focused the last two years of undergraduate on psychology, anthropology, and religious studies. During that time, he also volunteered as a teacher and coordinator of various non-profit organizations.

He deferred his acceptance at UNC-Chapel Hill School of Medicine to serve as a volunteer teacher for at-risk youth through Americorps. He continued his deferral for another year during which he apprenticed in two residential programs studying meditation, yoga, and Integrative Medicine.

In medical school, Brian co-founded the UNC-CH Integrative Medicine student group which organized educational seminars, retreats, and weekly classes. He facilitated regional events for students interested in Integrative Medicine, holistic living, and restoring humanism to medicine."
