Dr. Hull graduated from University of Utah School of Medicine in 1985. He practiced medicine as in obstetrics and gynecology for a decade before suffering a spinal cord injury resulting in paralysis.
After this life-altering event, he could not return to his medical practice. He devoted three and a half years to rehabilitation, working with Jan Black as his physical therapist.
Fortunately, Dr. Hull experienced an early return of neurological function. With a combination of Black’s expert guidance and hard work, he was able to take advantage of that return to make significant progress.
He and Jan realized there was an unmet need to provide others an opportunity to have access to the extraordinary rehabilitation he had experienced. The two of them founded a non-profit organization called Neuroworx. He currently serves as the Executive Director of Neuroworx.
In this episode, we talk to Dr. Dale Hull about overcoming hardship, treating individuals as a whole, and the importance of "non-task touching." Dr. Hull tells his personal story of spinal cord injury rehabilitation as well as the founding of Neuroworx. We also talk about the value of a Masters in Public Administration, learning how to run a non-profit, and what physcians can learn from being a patient. -
