Jason Folt, MD FAWM

Jason Folt is an emergency medicine physician with a lifelong interest in herpetology and envenomations. He graduated medical school from the University of Cincinnati and his passion for snakebites was a primary driver for pursuing emergency medicine. He completed his residency at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, and has since stayed in Michigan where he now serves as the Associate Program Director for the Henry Ford Hospital Department of Emergency Medicine. While Michigan does not have a high incidence of snakebite, one of his goals is to ensure his residents have received ample envenomation management training and are equipped with the appropriate foundational knowledge to help their patients anywhere they ultimately practice. His other professional interests include wilderness medicine and emergent airway management.
