What are David E. Martin's academic credentials and degrees related to biology or medicine?

1. Degrees explicitly reported in profiles

Several institutional and company biographies for David E. Martin list formal academic credentials: a BA from Goshen College, an MS from Ball State University, and a PhD from the University of Virginia ^[1], and these same credentials appear on his company/about pages and speaking bios ^{[3] [2]}.

2. Medical affiliation and publication claims

Biographical material also identifies Martin as a former Assistant Professor at the University of Virginia’s School of Medicine and notes that he has publications in medicine among other fields (law, engineering, finance, education), which supports an association with medical scholarship or medical-school activity ^{[2] [4]}.

3. What the sources do not show: fields of study for those degrees

None of the provided records explicitly state the subject area of Martin’s BA, MS, or PhD (for example, they do not say “PhD in biology” or “MD”); the biography statements list degree types and institutions but stop short of naming disciplines, so one cannot, based on these sources alone, assert that his degrees are in biology or medicine ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

4. Name confusion and similarly named academics

Public records contain several professionals named David Martin with medical or biological credentials—profiles for other David Martins show MDs, PhDs, and biology degrees at other institutions (e.g., University of New Mexico, Mayo Clinic, Research.com listings for different David I. K. Martin), highlighting a risk of conflating credentials across individuals unless the institutional affiliation and CV are matched precisely ^{[5] [6] [7]}.

5. Alternative interpretations and implicit agendas in the sources

Company and speaker bios emphasizing multidisciplinary publications and advisory roles (intellectual property, finance, policy) may aim to cast Martin as a broadly authoritative “Dr.” in business and policy contexts; those materials list medical-school affiliation and publications in medicine ^{[2] [4]} but do not provide primary academic records, so they can be read as persuasive biography rather than documentary proof of degree fields ^[3].

6. Bottom line: what can be stated with confidence and what remains unresolved

With confidence: David E. Martin is represented in multiple institutional and company sources as holding a BA (Goshen), an MS (Ball State), and a PhD (University of Virginia), and as having served as an Assistant Professor at UVA’s School of Medicine ^{[1] [2] [3]}. Unresolved: these sources do not document that those degrees are in biology or medicine specifically, and other publicly indexed David Martins hold distinct biomedical credentials, so independent verification (university diploma records, CV, or direct university personnel listings) would be required to confirm degree fields and avoid conflating different individuals ^{[1] [2] [5] [6]}.
