Biography

Mark Kimpton joined Cedarville University's faculty in December 2025. He began his medical career as a combat medic driving ambulances for a M.A.S.H unit in Virginia. After graduating medical school, he and his wife began their residency at Aultman Family Practice in Canton, Ohio. While in clinical practice, they were both involved in numerous short-term medical missions around the world, most notably in Benin, West Africa. They felt the call to full-time missions in 2016 and moved to Dominica in the West Indies. They moved from Dominica to Barbados to Antigua, where Dr. Kimpton taught in medical schools and got involved in local churches while sharing the Gospel with students from around the world.

    Expert Topics

    Being a family practitioner for over 20 years, I do not see myself as an 'expert' in any particular field of study. What I do have is an understanding of a wide range of topics. The areas of diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, asthma, and depression are of particular interest to me. My interest in counseling has led to further certification in biblical counseling through ACBC. Having taught in medical education full time off and on since 2016, I have an aptitude for small group sessions, simulation training, and physical exam skills sessions.

    Why Cedarville?

    The testimony and reputation of Cedarville University is well known to me from living in the Columbus area for over 20 years. Some of my closest friends are graduates from Cedarville University. God's Word being the foundation for everything at Cedarville is of the utmost importance. Being able to teach medicine from a Christian worldview allows us to address both the 'inner man' and the 'outer man' in a truly holistic approach.
