Nominator's thoughts on what would make this nominee a valuable member of a future Trump Unity Government
1) Dr. Sarmiento is a physician, consultant, and entrepreneur who loves solving complex problems in healthcare and beyond. He has a diverse background in surgery, public health, and business. He completed his internship in general surgery at Mayo Clinic, masters degrees in public health and business at Johns Hopkins University, and a postdoctoral fellowship in clinical outcomes research at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
As a surgeon turned public health professional, Dr. Sarmiento understands the importance of preventive medicine to keep people healthy. Through his company, Juniper Life Sciences [insert backlink to https://www.juniper.life], he has helped healthcare companies to create products and services that are aligned with an approach to medicine that is personalized, precise, and functional.
Having completed a fellowship in medical journalism at NBC News, Dr. Sarmiento is a skilled science communicator. He has written extensively on health and medical topics for a general audience. He is also the author of dozens of academic publications and book chapters, and is a peer reviewer in health economics for the British Medical Journal.
Outside of health and medicine, Dr. Sarmiento is passionate about languages. He considers himself a polyglot, epistemophiliac, and fitness enthusiast.
2) In business and life, Sam has always demonstrated honesty in all endeavors. As a peer-reviewer for a prestigious medical journal, he takes conflicts of interest seriously. Despite being requested frequently to endorse products and services, Sam declines such requests if those products lack evidence to support them or would create a conflict of interest.
3) As a new US citizen, Sam is respectful of the US constitution as the law of the land. He believes freedom of speech is the foundation for a free society, which is why he has advocated for thought diversity at places like college campuses.
4) Sam has always been an independent thinker. Instead of opting for a lucrative career in Pharma, he decided to create his own consulting company to help clients to keep people healthy longer.
5) Sam has had the courage to stand up to academic activists who subscribe to ideas that could cause harm to society.
6) Sam has a proven record of excellence in health and medicine. Youll be hard pressed to find another physician on Upwork who is as credentialed: I completed my internship in general surgery at Mayo Clinic, masters degrees in public health and business at Johns Hopkins University, and a postdoctoral fellowship in peripheral nerve surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
