Raymond R. Price

Raymond R. Price, MD, FACS, serves as Clinical Professor in Surgery and Adjunct Associate Professor in Family & Preventive Medicine, specializing in General Surgery with board certification from the American Board of Surgery and National Board of Medical Examiners. Fluent in English, Thai, and Lao, his clinical and academic work bridges surgical care and public health with a focus on resource-limited settings globally.

His educational foundation includes a B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Utah, M.D. from Harvard Medical School, Research Fellowship at Harvard Medical School, Surgery Fellowship at Harvard University, and General Surgery Residency/Internship at Brigham and Women's Hospital. This training underpins his expertise in surgical systems and global health delivery.

Dr. Price's research centers on geospatial analysis of cancer and surgical services in Africa and Asia, particularly breast/cervical cancer accessibility in Ghana and The Gambia, surgical capacity in Mongolia, and mobile surgical units in Ecuador. His methodology combines spatial mapping, service availability assessments, and health systems strengthening to address critical gaps in low-resource surgical care. Recent work demonstrates innovative approaches like real-time service interfaces and virtual tumor boards to overcome geographical and infrastructural barriers.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals dominant themes in global surgical systems strengthening (80% of articles), geospatial health service mapping (75%), and cancer care optimization in resource-limited settings (70%). His work consistently targets infrastructure gaps while developing practical solutions for surgical access improvement across multiple continents.

Through collaborations with institutions in Ghana, Mongolia, The Gambia, Ecuador, and Nigeria, Dr. Price co-leads international projects including the Bethune Round Table in Africa and multidisciplinary tumor boards. His work emphasizes sustainable capacity building rather than short-term interventions, focusing on systemic improvements in surgical ecosystems across diverse cultural contexts.
