Biography
My name is Matt Porter and I am a medical student at the Washington State University Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine. Before becoming a medical student, I served 8 years in the Army as a Military Intelligence Officer, with one combat tour to Afghanistan in 2014 as the Chief of Intelligence Threat and Reconnaissance operations for Zabul Province in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, serving alongside our Afghan and coalition partners. I am a graduate of the United States Military Academy, where I earned a Bachelor of Sciences degree in Life Sciences with honors, as well as a minor in nuclear engineering. With me on this adventure is my wonderful wife Katy, who enriched my life forever by saying yes to me while I was still in the service, and we just celebrated 4 years of marriage. My current clinical interests center around Orthopaedics, General/Trauma Surgery, and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.
