He graduated from the University of Rochester Medical School and trained in the General Internal Medicine track of Hopkins Bayview Hospital with RandyBarker. He is board-certified in internal medicine.

He also sees patients at Mother Teresa's Mission for Sick and Dying Destitutes in Addis Ababa, and runs a small project to send Ethiopian kids abroad for specialized surgery. He is also building a clinic for local residents of Addis Ababa.

In 1994-95, he was in charge of the health of 50,000 Rwandan refugees in Kibumba Refugee Camp outside Goma, Zaire. He has worked with refugees and displaced people in Ethiopia, Rwanda, Zaire, Tanzania, Albania, and Somalia.

Rick has written about Ethiopian diseases, cross-cultural medicine with Ethiopians, and is interested in exploring these ideas.
