Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine
Dr. Mark Keele grew up in Boise, Idaho, where his love for medicine took root early on during his years at Timberline High School. He later attended Brigham Young University, graduating with a degree in Microbiology, and spent four years working as a dermatology medical assistant during his undergraduate studies. Through assisting with skin exams, biopsies, and excisions, he developed a deep appreciation for the role family physicians play in detecting and treating skin cancer early—an area that continues to drive his clinical interests today.
He took a two-year break from school to serve a mission in Stockholm, Sweden for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he learned to speak Swedish and gained a deep appreciation for serving diverse populations.
During medical school at Idaho College of Osteopathic Medical School in Meridian, Mark’s interest in full-spectrum family medicine expanded to include emergency care, obstetrics, dermatology, and preventive medicine—including skin examinations and colonoscopies to improve long-term patient outcomes. His favorite aspect of medicine is forming lasting relationships with patients while offering care across all life stages.
Outside the hospital, you’ll often find Mark rock climbing, playing pickleball, or watching BSU/BYU football. He and his wife stay busy raising their three kids and love engaging with the community—especially through youth sports and outdoor family adventures. He’s excited to be continuing his training in the Magic Valley, close to the people and places that feel like home.
