Jesse Schoonmaker, MD, MPH
Recruitment Coordinator, The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice
Jesse Schoonmaker’s eclectic academic and professional journey currently has him spearheading patient recruitment for various projects at The Center for Technology and Behavioral Health. A New Hampshire native, Jesse received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Chemistry from Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. For the next four years he worked as the lab manager at both the Scadden Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital’s Center for Regenerative Medicine/ Harvard’s Stem Cell Institute in Boston and at the Lo Celso Laboratory at Imperial College London. During his time at CRM/HSCI, Jesse worked in direct partnership with Pulitzer Prize winning author, Siddhartha Mukherjee. Jesse would later return to school, graduating with a MD from St. George’s University School of Medicine in Grenada followed by an MPH from The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice in Hanover, NH. He hopes to positively contribute to the research being done at CTBH while maintaining a firm grasp on his medical and “hard science” background.
Jesse has visited 31 of the 63 US National Parks, most of these within one year. He loves a good road trip, ideally with his wife and two dogs. Jesse is a licensed bartender, a lapsed tequila aficionado, and enjoys making cocktails that take way longer than necessary. He is an enthusiastic and excellent cook but loses all interest when it comes to the presentation of his creations… just eat it already.
