[edit]
Teaching Neuroanatomy at the Stanford Medical School

Dr. McCullough's medical degree is from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine, where he was the first medical student awarded the UCSF Chancellor's and Burbridge awards for public service.[59] Dr. McCullough's surgical residency was at Stanford Hospital's emergency unit, when he created BeAGoodDoctor.Org [1][5] Prior to medical school, McCullough was a Rhodes scholar and studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Balliol College, Oxford University, and also studied diagnostic and neuro-imaging at the John Radcliffe Hospital there.[51][60] As an undergraduate, Dr. McCullough studied Human Biology and Neuroscience at Stanford University, where he was the first undergraduate hired to teach at the Stanford Medical School (Neuroanatomy).[9] McCullough paid his way through college a term at a time, and was forced to drop out repeatedly to earn money to return to Stanford, where he graduated in 3 years. During these academic terms off at Stanford, Dr. McCullough was befriended by David Packard, whose Packard Foundation subsequently supported his early social entrepreneurship and social impact orientation.[7][37][32][9]

Early Life and Medical Challenges

[edit]

Raised in rural Oregon, McCullough’s family were original Oregon settlers in the 1800s. McCullough was born 8 weeks prematurely and suffered a brain hemorrhage which was missed for nine years resulting in hydrocephalus, severe headaches, and a significant speech impediment which was corrected with brain surgery at age 10.[9][53] At age 4, McCullough began playing chess, and at 6 played against chess master Arthur Dake in a public tournament.[61] At 17, McCullough served on the Oregon Board of Education where he represented the K-12 students in Oregon and helped co-author Oregon's Action Plan For Excellence in Education, state graduation requirements and other policy.[62][63] Following surgery, McCullough subsequently retrained himself to speak through high school.[2][3][64] Following his brain surgery, speaking fluently initially also required McCullough to learn and adopt biofeedback and several meditation techniques at an early age.[3][9] To overcome his stuttering, McCullough also used different accents when needed to for public speaking, teaching, and stand-up comedy, which he used to help pay his way through college and medical school.[7][9][53] In an interview and book by Tim Ferriss, Dr. McCullough is noted for occasionally creatively saving lives in the emergency room, airplanes, roadside accidents, and remote overseas expeditions "off algorithm," and he attributes an important component of life growth to embracing challenging fears.[3][65]
