An interview with Dan L. Stamper PA-C
I grew up in a farming community located 45 miles north of Malibu in southern California. After high school, I went to work with my father as an ironworker. Two years later, I joined the US Army and was trained as a combat medic. I graduated from the University of Washington School of Medicine (MEDEX Northwest) in 2001. I joined the orthopaedic team at the University of Washington in 2003.
