About this episode
Dr. Christina Kelly was born and raised in Stow, Ohio and received her medical degree from the Ohio State University College of Medicine and Public Health. She then completed her residency and family medicine-obstetrics fellowship training at Tacoma Family Medicine (TFM) in Tacoma, Washington. Dr. Kelly is married to Dr. Kevin Kelly, a family physician and Colonel in the Army. As a proud Army spouse, Dr. Kelly has lived and practiced in different parts of the country which has broadened her understanding of different approaches to medical care. Her career includes serving as adjunct faculty for TFM; residency faculty and Director of the Family Medicine OB Fellowship at Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, TX, residency faculty at the Memorial Family Medicine Residency Program, and Director of the Primary Care Accelerated Track at Mercer University School of Medicine in Savannah, GA. She has also taught at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences as an Assistant Professor in the department of family medicine. Dr. Kelly has also been involved in ‘organizational medicine’ since she was a second-year medical student, and has always felt passionate about being an advocate for patients and family medicine. Her experience in organized medicine has so far taught her how to plan and implement different kinds of projects to impact change and improve care for patients and communities. Dr. Kelly loves the opportunity to work with students and residents, particularly as they develop their leadership skills and become ‘change agents.’ She is particularly passionate about maternity and child care, mentorship, physician workforce diversity, health equity, student and resident burnout prevention, and increasing student choice of family medicine and primary care.*Contact info: cmkellymd@gmail.com*Twitter: @cmkellymd**Post Episode Survey: https://surveyking.com/a/f0fqjsu
