Air Force Colonel Rudy Moise served over 20 years and flourished in Business, Politics, Service
Rudolph Moise (born September 22, 1954, is the owner and medical director of Comprehensive Medical Aesthetics in Miami. Prior to becoming a physician, he served as a flight surgeon in the United States Air Force for more than 21 years, earning the rank of colonel, the highest position awarded to an American of Haitian descent at that time.
Moise was born into a middle-class family in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He attended Catholic secondary school in Haiti and then received a bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Moise relocated to Miami during the 1980s and earned a federal grant for his medical studies where he devoted several years of practice to a community that saw a large influx of Haitian refugees that had been underserved and lacked enough doctors who spoke Creole.
