Thupten: Filing Clerk

Running a medical office these days requires a lot of work. We have the highest standards in the way we maintain our patients charts and keep them up to date. Thupten has been with IthacaMed since 2002. Thupten was born in Tibet and escaped at the age of 14 years in a harrowing 6 week journey. He studied at the Tibetan School of Buddhist dialectics in Dharamsala, taking his vows to become a monk. He came to Ithaca as an assistant to the abbot at Namgual monastery. His family in Tibet became unemployed and he made the difficult decision to disrobe so he could provide them economic aid by working at 2 full time positions. In 2004 Thupten became a naturalized American citizen. You may reach him at 607-277-0969 Ext. 25 or by email at Dakpa@ithacamed.com
