Luke Husby, DO, FAWM
Dr. Luke Husby is an emergency medicine physician and an assistant professor and director of education and research of the Wilderness and Survival Medicine Section at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) Emergency Department. He has had an interest in global health and austere medicine working in several tropical environments including Zambia teaching with the World Health Organization, as well as work in other East African countries primarily Uganda and Tanzania.

Additionally, he has worked in Samoa, American Samoa, and Tonga in a medical volunteer capacity with established teams.
This was furthered with a fellowship in Global Health from UTHSCSA and a Diploma of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene from the University of Glasgow.
