Media has always been of great interest to Ryan. It all started as a narrator for Sunday services at Munsey Memorial United Methodist Church in Johnson City, TN at the ripe old age of 14. Once in college, he began work with WETS-FM 89.5 NPR for East Tennessee State University. While with WETS, he participated in news editing, board operations, announcing, and program production. Before starting medical school, Ryan spent a summer with WJHL-TV in Johnson City, TN as a production assistant. After a preliminary year in surgery at ETSU, he spent a year performing board operations and on-air work for Clear Channel Radio in Lexington, Ky. He also volunteered for board operations and reading for Central Kentucky Radio Eye, a radio service for the blind in Lexington, which he still continues today. While a resident at the University of Kentucky, Ryan had the opportunity to spend a month as an Intern with the ABC News Medical Unit in Boston, MA, writing stories for ABCnews.com, researching stories for other ABC outlets, and doing some on-air work for ABCNewsNow. Ryan continues to contribute written and video stories for ABC. In December of 2008, Ryan was named the "Doc On-Call" for WTVQ-36 in Lexington, an ABC affiliate. This position involved on-air interviews and segments with WTVQ Health Reporter Kristi Runyon, dealing with common emergency topics and viewer questions. Ryan's most recent venture is "Everyday Medicine", which is a series of short health topics available on WETS-FM and as a podcast. This series will be continuously updated with new topics dealing with health stories that effect people in their every day lives.
