Kirsten Austad, MD, MPH, assistant professor of family medicine, has been named the National Academy of Medicine’s 2025-2027 James C. Puffer, MD/American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) Fellow.

Austad was chosen for her professional qualifications, reputation and accomplishments, and based on the relevance of her current field of expertise to the work of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. Austad will collaborate with eminent researchers, policy experts and clinicians from across the country during the two-year fellowship.

She joins Alyssa Tilhou, MD, PhD,  assistant professor of family medicine, who was a 2024-2026 recipient of this fellowship. There have only been 18 of these fellows, and two have come from the department of family medicine, the only department to have two faculty recognized
