My name is Ben Showalter and I was raised in Boise, Idaho. I grew up as the oldest of four brothers, one of which being my twin brother. It was during his junior year in high school when I decided that I wanted a career which satisfied my curiosity for science while also helping other people live their best lives.

My path then led me to Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. During undergrad, I completed the pre-health track and received a degree in Biology. I met my fiancé Mallory who I have been with since November of 2016. I then started medical school at the University of Washington School of Medicine in 2018. I graduated in 2022 and subsequently matched to Full Circle Health Family Medicine Residency of Idaho in Boise. I am now in my third year of training. My clinical interests include care for underserved populations, preventative care, and sustainability in medicine. 

Outside of medicine, I enjoy trying not to hurt myself skiing and biking, attempting to catch fish in rivers but usually just standing in the water for a couple hours, and sleeping uncomfortably in a tent in the wilderness because houses are overrated.
