Dr. Jacobson went on to finish an extra year of training in an orthopedic trauma fellowship at Ortholndy in Indianapolis, Indiana. Dr. Jacobson was born and raised in Montpelier, Idaho. While working as a CNA in high school, he was immediately impressed with the excellent treatment provided in the small town, despite the somewhat limited resources. This fueled Dr. Jacobson's desire to pursue a career in medicine, and make specialty medical care available closer to the patients, rather than expecting them to travel long distances for care. Outside his work as an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Jacobson enjoys spending time with his wife and four children.
