During his college summers, he worked as a commercial fisherman during sockeye salmon seasons in Alaska\u2013 working with little sleep in a physically and psychologically taxing summer job! Jonathan has been actively engaged in community and service work even before coming to UNC for medical school.\u00a0 He has volunteered with the nonprofit Samaritan\u2019s Purse in Boone for over a decade, served as a student mentor for the Phi Delta Epsilon International Medical Fraternity which seeks to create physicians of integrity, functioned as a Health Education coordinator for UNC\u2019s Student-run free clinic, and most recently was selected as one of our Internal Medicine Student Chiefs during his last year of medical school. Jonathan\u2019s international and volunteer work, including time working at the Kudjip Hospital\u2019s HIV clinic in Papua New Guinea, have been impactful and have led him to have a growing interest in Infectious Diseases and global health as a future career. While in PNG, he recognized the need for cultural humility as the group he was with worked with local leaders to develop heatmaps of HIV patients lost to follow-up. In his free time, Jonathan enjoys hiking, camping, fishing, scuba diving, fishkeeping, playing soccer and basketball, and reading.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":52654,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"layout":"","cellInformation":"","apiCallInformation":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"ud_division":[671,652],"class_list":["post-65224","ud_entry","type-ud_entry","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","ud_division-all-faculty-profiles","ud_division-pgy-21","odd"],"acf":[],"ud_entry_custom_fields":{"ud_last_name":"Plyler","ud_first_name":"Jonathan","ud_gallery_summary":"<p><strong>Medical School:<\/strong>\u00a0University of North Carolina<\/p>\n<p><strong>Undergraduate:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0University South Carolina<\/p>\n","ud_telephone":false,"ud_email":"","ud_positions":false,"ud_options":[],"ud_sort_order":""},"featured_image":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2021\/06\/PlylerJonathan.jpg","featured_image_medium":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2021\/06\/PlylerJonathan-214x300.jpg","featured_image_medium_large":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2021\/06\/PlylerJonathan-768x1075.jpg","featured_image_large":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2021\/06\/PlylerJonathan-731x1024.jpg","featured_image_thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2021\/06\/PlylerJonathan-150x150.jpg","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Jonathan Plyler, MD | Department of Medicine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/people\/jonathan-plyler-md\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Jonathan Plyler, MD | Department of Medicine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Jonathan is from Hendersonville, North Carolina and attended the University of South Carolina where he obtained his B.S. in Public Health.
