Medical School: Midwestern University - AZCOM
I was born and raised in Plano, Texas, brainwashed to love the Dallas Cowboys from a young age, and learned to fear school roll call, when everyone would find out my real name was Maurice Jerome Kenter III. As a kid I played almost every sport imaginable, broke a new bone each summer and mastered the art of swimming with my arm in a cast while wrapped in a plastic bag. I somehow survived childhood, became an EMT-Basic, graduated high school at Plano East Senior High and spent the next years at Baylor University.
I had a wonderful time at Baylor, where I obtained my degree in Biology, met my wife in French class and made some life-long friends. After graduating, I took a year off before medical school and decided to become a professional poker player as well as travel around Europe with my wife. We loved spending our days paying to use the toilet, getting lost on public transportation and running from the bulls in Pamplona. After sitting at a poker table for more time than I would like to admit, my year of adventure was finally up and I went to medical school at the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine where I experienced all Arizona had to offer and eventually became captivated with practicing Emergency Medicine.
The Corpus Christi Emergency Medicine Residency is an extremely unique program. It has a more intimate class size, lack of competition from other residencies and the faculty/residents are enthusiastic about teaching. For the next three years I am looking forward meeting and working with some great people in the ED, learning as much as possible about practicing emergency medicine, and spending my free time playing basketball, sand volleyball, golf and anything else I might find enjoyable by the beach!
