Zach Bush completed pre-med training and his baccalaureate degree in Spanish at the University of Colorado, Boulder in 1997 and completed medical school in 2002 at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver.

In recognition of his clinical excellence and leadership, Dr Bush was selected to serve an additional year as Chief Resident in 2005-2006, which furthered his passion for teaching.

Since 2009 Dr Bush and his colleagues at Revolution Health have been forging a comprehensive model for human health and healing.
