I’m Dr. Rufus Erickson, an Internal Medicine physician with a passion for patient care and education. After years of working in clinics and hospitals, I realized there’s a lot more I want to share about health and wellness beyond the exam room. That’s why I started writing for this PathWayMedicine. I hope you will find my takes interesting.
