Core Faculty
Dr. Friedman earned his undergraduate degree in biology from McGill University and received his MD in 1994 from the University of Massachusetts.
Dr. Friedman completed his residency training at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, joining the General Internal Medicine faculty at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in 1997. He was the Program Director of the residency for almost 20 years and is now exploring Medical Informatics and improving Epic.
Dr. Friedman spends his free time in his woodshop, visiting his children in college, and addressing endless home repair projects. He is fascinated by chaos theory and non-linear dynamics, and he is hopelessly addicted to Duplicate Bridge. He is a huge science fiction and fantasy fan, thinks that the Game of Thrones books are much better than the HBO series, is a big fan of The Expanse, and is always looking for suggestions to read.
