Ben Wiederhold, MD
EMERGENCY MEDICINE DEPARTMENT CHAIR
Medical School: University of California San Francisco
Residency: Highland Hospital, Oakland, CA–Emergency Medicine
Our intrepid Medical Director and EM Chair-at-large; the person behind the curtain for our marvelous department. Ben is the one who sparked the idea for GME at the very beginning of this adventure at St Joe’s and has been a continual support and driving force behind the program. He is an idea man and our wellness guru.
When he isn’t working, or in a meeting, he is biking, climbing a mountain, or in some exotic locale, most of the time with his wife and kids.
