Some of his adventures included living in the frontier territory of northern Angola, hunting for wild game, and traveling across many poorly charted areas of Africa.Ed obtained his medical degree from the Indiana University School of Medicine and his Master of Public Health degree from Johns Hopkins University. He taught public health in Ethiopia for two years and then became a public health director in rural USA. He concluded his career in the USA as a family physician with a teaching appointment at the University of Florida. After retirement, he volunteered with Volunteer in Mission teams in Africa and was appointed as an adjunct professor of health at Africa University from 2010 to 2015.Through his experiences, he grew to understand the value to health of the whole person being embraced-body, mind, and spirit. Tim's Story describes this emerging trend in medicine and defines the individual's responsibility in this new paradigm of health.In 2019, Ed was given the 2019 Healthcare Heroes Award by the Citrus County Chronicle, Crystal River, Florida. He was chosen for this award by his peers in Citrus County, where he had practiced for twenty-five years. In 2020, Dr. Dodge was given a Lifetime Achievement Award by Who's Who.view less
