Ben is a 4^th year medical student at the Brody School of Medicine. He is applying to residency in Psychiatry and eventually hopes to pursue a Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship. He has pursued a variety of interests since moving to Greenville to study medicine including his pun-laden leadership of the local chapter of Walk with A Doc, a national organization promoting wellness and community engagement. He served as Simulation Lab Advisory Board Student Representative and as president of the Med-Peds Interest Group. More recently, he co-led a clothing drive to benefit indigent patients in the inpatient psychiatry ward and volunteering on a research project to improve pathology education. He was just selected for the NC Medical Society’s Future Clinician Leaders College, Class of 2024. He can be found around Brody from time to time because he loves mentoring the younger classes of medical students and napping in the Zen room.

Ben lives in Greenville with his wife Christine Malumphy, an assistant capital defender, their daughter Alice Wise, and their loyal hound Penny Lane. They enjoy exploring new hikes, chasing lizards and other reptiles, visiting science museums, and finding hidden restaurant gems across North Carolina.
