Michael Sheehan, MPH-MD'23

House Staff, Stanford University Health

Michael began his educational endeavors as a geology major. He was exceptionally fortunate to have had the opportunities he received back then. He interned with NASA and was able to study in China during consecutive summers. Michael found a love for nature and exploring the depths of this world and others. He was accepted to a graduate program in isotope geochemistry and paleoclimatology and thought he had found his niche. However, he dropped out after only a few months to care for his father.
