Listen "Jack Westfall"
Episode Synopsis
From the High Plains to the Bright Lights…… and back.
Listening to the community- the farmers and ranchers, schoolteachers and students. “This isn’t just about me as a researcher and what I want, it’s what the community wants.”
Jack Westfall is a family doctor and researcher. He completed his MD and MPH at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, an internship in hospital medicine in Wichita, Kansas, and his Family Medicine Residency at the University of Colorado Rose Family Medicine Program. He spent most of his career at the University of Colorado, while practising rural family medicine in a small town in eastern Colorado, about 100 miles from Denver where they started a practice-based research network. His focus has been on rural health and community engagement and later public health agency work in California and health policy in Washington, DC.
