Dr. Boman is a graduate of Ed W. Clark High School in Las Vegas and served as the school’s first student body president. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He then graduated from the George Washington University School of Medicine, where he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honorary Medical Society. While completing post-graduate training at the University of California Los Angeles, he co-authored the original edition of “Cardiology for the House Officer,” the first handbook and guide for residents and interns entering the field of cardiology. Dr Boman has served as Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine for the University of Nevada School of Medicine. A board-certified clinical cardiologist, Dr. Boman challenged the trend toward large medical groups when he founded his solo practice in January 1997. He did so with the belief that medicine is an art as much as it is a science. The art, he believes, lies in knowing and understanding his patients as well as his craft. As anyone who knows him can attest, Dr. Boman’s lifelong commitment to caring for people extends well beyond his medical practice. When he is not working, the Las Vegas native devotes much of his time and energy to caring for the only community he has ever called home. Believing that everyone should give something back to the community, Dr Boman is deeply involved in numerous charities and both professional and community organizations. He helped found The Meadows School and the Las Vegas Performing Arts Center Foundation and he was instrumental in the relocation of the Nevada Ballet Theatre to their current location. He has served on the Board of Trustees for the Clark County Medical Society and for Columbia Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center. He also serves as a Trustee for the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, a prestigious charitable foundation created by the late media groupowner who entrusted Dr.Boman with coordinating his medical care. Dr. Boman currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Las Vegas Performing Arts Center Foundation whose goal is to design, construct and operate the world class Smith Center for the Performing Arts opening in 2011. In addition to his practice, he serves as the Medical Director for the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) program at the Boyd Gaming Corporation.The lifesaving AED program,the first in Las Vegas, was born largely from Dr. Boman’s realization that the mortality rate for people who suffer cardiac arrests in hotel-casinos and in other large and crowded buildings, could be greatly reduced by training and equipping employees with AEDs. Dr Boman likes to say he started his own practice “to prove that personal relationships and service merit a place in medicine.” That place can be found today at his office at 601 South Rancho Drive, Suite D-28, in Las Vegas. |
