Episode 133: Dr. Joel Feder, D.O.- Family Practice: What does a D.O. do after retirement? Beach and fun? NO! Medical Mission to Vietnam!
Today we interview Dr. Joel Feder in what is one of Dr. Storch's favorite interviews to date. Dr. Feder retired from Family practice after over 40 years. He discuses with us his career and passion for osteopathic medicine, family practice and his time in the millitary.
Most interestingly, Dr. Feder shares with us what he has been doing in his retirement including teaching, taking care of the homeless and going on a medical mission to Vietnam.
After he graduated in 1975 from the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences (KCUMB), he did his residency in the Navy at the Naval Regional Medical Center in Philadelphia. He served on active duty in the Navy for three years, and then served in the reserves for 35 years, retiring in 2008 as a Navy captain.
Dr. Feder's passion for family medicine and Osteopathy is viral. If you were considering this career path but weren't sure. . . Dr. Feder's "retrespectoscope" will remove all doubt!
