Faculty
Our staff is comprised of 10 core faculty physicians and adjunct faculty physicians. Although AF operational security requirements preclude us from listing staff members by name, each staff physician has been carefully selected to ensure a wide background of expertise including osteopathic manipulative therapy, medical acupuncture, sports medicine fellowship, obstetrics fellowship, colonoscopy, and all office based primary care procedures. We have staff who have completed faculty development fellowships from Michigan State and University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Among our staff we have instructors who have taught at University of Nebraska, St. Louis University, Scott AFB, Offutt AFB, and Eglin AFB; residents there recognized our staff with multiple "Teacher of the Year" awards." One of staff won the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine "New Scholar" award for nationally recognized research work along with ACC Clinical Researcher of the Year - twice! Two of our faculty members are editors with national publications. One faculty won the AF Flight Surgeon of the Year. Another faculty won the AAFP Bristol Myers Squibb Research Award, while another won the AF field grade officer of the year for Clinical Excellence. Two others won the ACC Clinical Excellence award and another the ACC Family Physician of the Year We also have a full-time behavioral science coordinator who is a licensed clinical social worker and was awarded the ACC BHOP of the Year. Most of our staff have experience in deployment medicine across the globe, including Egypt, Kenya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Haiti, Dominic Republic, Thailand, Suriname, and the Philippines.
Our first resident class joined us in June 2009 with a ribbon cutting attended by the AF Surgeon General. Entrepreneurial team players who enjoy collaborating with a very experienced teaching staff are actively shaping their residency education. Our subsequent classes have hailed from around the country and have a variety of backgrounds. Allopathic and osteopathic school graduates entering active duty have been welcomed, as we continue to learn from each other.
