District 6 candidate Courtney Huhn
I have reached a point in my career where I am looking for meaningful ways to share the skills and knowledge I have acquired. As I have grown in my leadership roles while maintaining my teaching roles, I have been able to expand and hone my educational interests and leadership skills. I am now able to share those skills to help organizations that have helped me. The KAFP is one of those key organizations. As a first year medical student with a passion and zero direction, I wanted to implement legislation and went about it in all the wrong ways. It was the KAFP and its members and staff who took me under their guidance and proverbial wing to help me learn and grow. I am now at a point where I feel that I can contribute to this amazing organization that helped me early on in my career. The KAFP emphasizes supporting family physicians to achieve optimal health for all Kansans. I believe that my experience in quality and process improvement as well as my passion for cultivating a culture of physician wellness/well-being as a physician leader in my organization will prove valuable to the KAFP, family physicians and their patients across the state. It would be an honor to bring the skills I have acquired in the last 10 years to serve our state as a KAFP board member.
