Overview

Dr. Myhre grew up in a village in western Uganda at the foot of the Rwenzori Mountain range in the Congo River basin. As a teen, he studied in Kenya before attending Yale University for his undergraduate degree.

Passionate about service, Dr. Myhre plans to volunteer his skills with international orthopedic opportunities.“I believe that all people who experience trauma, regardless of background or circumstance, deserve excellent world-class care. The beauty of orthopedics is that broken bodies can be made whole.”Dr. Myhre loves mountain biking, backcountry touring, and anything in the mountains with his wife and dog.
