Overview
Born in El Paso, Texas, Dr. Eithan Kotkowski was raised bilingual and bicultural on both sides of the U.S.–Mexico border. Growing up near the Franklin Mountains, he developed an early love for the outdoors, film, and the sciences.

He completed an eight-year MD/PhD through the South Texas Medical Scientist Training Program at UT Health San Antonio, earning a PhD in Neuroscience Imaging and an MD with distinction in Medical Humanities.
