 neurosurgeon and Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson

Benjamin Solomon "Ben" Carson, Sr. (born September 18, 1951) is a former neurosurgeon who is a candidate for President of the United States in the 2016 presidential election. He was the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Maryland from 1984 until his retirement in 2013. Among his achievements as a surgeon were separation of conjoined twins and a technique for controlling brain seizures. Both achievements were recognized in 2008 with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.


Upon delivering a widely publicized speech at the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast, Carson became a popular conservative figure in political media for his views on social and political issues. On May 4, 2015, Carson announced he was running for the Republican nomination in the 2016 presidential election at a rally in his hometown of Detroit.
