Join us for the next Bite-Sized Learning Session on Sunday, July 12, at 8 p.m. live on the OAFP Facebook page.
Moderated by Ohio Academy of Family Physicians President-Elect Mike Sevilla, MD, this week’s session will feature Kelly Thibert, DO, MPH, American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) Resident Member of the Board of Directors and newly graduated resident from the Grant Family Medicine Residency Program in Columbus, OH.
Dr. Thibert was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, FL. She attended the University of Central Florida in Orlando where she majored in molecular and microbiology and minored in women’s studies. She attended Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine in South Florida where she earned her Doctorate in Osteopathic Medicine and Master of Public Health degrees. Before applying to residency, she served as the national president for the American Medical Student Association (AMSA), improving her health policy skills which she believes are vital to being an advocate and change agent for her patients and the communities in which they live.
During the session, Dr. Thibert will describe her journey in medicine thus far, discuss what her leadership roles have taught her, and what she hopes to pass on to future medical students and residents. As a member of the AAFP Board of Directors, Dr. Thibert also will talk about changes to the AAFP National Conference of Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students and what the new virtual format will include.
