David Seth M.

Before attending the Yale School of Medicine, Seth graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno, where he earned a BS in molecular microbiology and immunology. His path to medicine began as a volunteer firefighter with his hometown fire department, an experience that sparked a desire to pursue a career in healthcare. He went on to work as an EMT and trauma technician at a Level II trauma center in northern Nevada, gaining hands-on experience before enrolling in PA school. His clinical experience spans pre-hospital emergency care, trauma services, and inpatient medicine, allowing him to work alongside interdisciplinary teams in high-acuity medical environments.

At Yale University, Seth’s master's thesis examined the effects of different crystalloid solutions on mortality in severe trauma patients, a project rooted in his prior emergency and trauma experience. After graduating with a Master of Medical Science, Seth joined Renown Health as an internal medicine nocturnist, where he specializes in caring for hospitalized patients with acute and emergent medical conditions during overnight inpatient admissions.
