Dr. Solomon studied biochemistry and music at Bucknell University. After graduation, he moved to Atlanta, Georgia to attend medical school at Emory University. Upon completion of medical school, he was accepted into the internal medicine residency class at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, Texas.
After residency but before starting a fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care at the University of Colorado, he spent a year abroad. His goal was to travel Southeast Asia but ended up working the entire year in an orphanage in central Viet Nam that had just opened their doors to the public. Over the course of that year and subsequent yearly trips during the fellowship, he worked with others to improve the quality of life for the disabled children through improvements in health and hygiene, instituting a physical therapy program and developing an education curriculum. After a fellowship in 2006, Dr. Solomon moved back to central Viet Nam to work full time.
