“When I got hit in the face hard with a softball, doctors gave me medicine to blunt my pain but that was not a cure,” Dr. Goddard recalls. “That made me realize there were other aspects of medicine that were not part of the typical med school curriculum. I wanted to get into my toolbox early on a greater number of methods to help people, especially those that could quickly get to the root cause of their problem.”
