Dr. Bowhay is a board-certified family practice doctor from Jackson, California.

He has always practiced in small towns seeing his first patients in the villages of Mexico as a student at Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara. His medical training took him to Houston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco before returning to Mexico to do social service for the university there, teaching students how to practice in a primitive setting.

Family medicine residency took him to Battle Creek, Michigan and later Pueblo, Colorado, where after graduation he joined the teaching faculty, again, in rural medicine. From Colorado, he moved to Hawaii to be a plantation doctor and began his own private practice. Students from Colorado followed him there for rural training. For twenty years now, he has been in solo practice in Jackson teaching students from the University of California in Davis, and from the University of Phoenix.

Dr. Bowhay’s interests, aside from office and hospital practice, include minor surgery and anti-aging facial enhancement procedures. Before medical school Dr. Bowhay studied at Stanford University majoring in psychology, with a time at Stanford-in-Austria. He has worked in oceanography for Stanford Marine Laboratories from Ecuador to Canada and worked for Del Monte Seafood in the Sultanate of Oman.

The Global Medical Foundation has taken him to Colombia, the Philippines and Thailand. His wife, Laurie, and his son, Kevin are also valuable Global Medical Foundation veterans.
