He earned his Bachelor of Science in biochemistry from the University of Notre Dame in 2011, graduating cum laude, and his medical degree from Indiana University School of Medicine in 2015, graduating with early Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society distinction.

Fun Facts
Dr. Barton’s guilty pleasures are playing board games that are way too complicated and putting together thousand-piece puzzles.

- In 2019, Dr. Barton was a finalist for the Texas Radiological Society (TRS) Brown Family Award for Resident Excellence in Radiation Oncology.
- Alpha Omega Alpha early election as a junior medical student in 2013.
