Kevin B. Jones, MD studied English literature at Harvard and medicine at Johns Hopkins. After orthopaedic surgical residency at the University of Iowa , he pursued fellowship training in musculoskeletal oncology at Mount Sinai Hospital and the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children.
He is an orthopaedic surgeon and scientist at the Huntsman Cancer Institute and Primary Children's Medical Center at the University of Utah. He performs surgeries to remove bone and muscle cancers (called sarcomas) and rebuild limbs in both children and adults. His laboratory research, supported by the National Cancer Institute, the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation and other foundations, focuses on the biology and genetics of sarcomas. He has authored over fifty peer-reviewed publications in the medical/scientific literature.
From his first job performing phlebotomy and bed-pan changes at a local hospital, Kevin learned that medicine is not always good, clean, inside work. He finds the dishonesty that can so easily crop up in and around medicine to be much less pleasant than those bed pans. Unconvinced that bigger and better systems can fix the problems in medicine, Kevin believes that educated and empowered patients working with honest physicians can.
He lives in Salt Lake City with his wife and children.
