About

Kaitlin Huennekens

"I was born and raised in San Diego, CA, but have spent the last 10 years in the Midwest. I attended Washington University in St. Louis for college and majored in Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology, a hodgepodge of a major that reflected my interest in understanding human behavior. After undergrad, I moved to Chicago where I worked as a clinical research coordinator for the next two years. While I did not love the minutia of clinical research, I loved building meaningful relationships with patients and their families as they navigated new, investigative treatments. I stayed in Chicago to attend Northwestern University for medical school. I was involved in Medical Students for Choice and organized various events to improve our education of reproductive justice and advocacy. My interests in population health and community medicine led me to pursue a Master of Public Health, where I worked at various FQHCs and community health centers throughout Chicago. While I love obstetrics and reproductive health, I was drawn to primary care and the ability of family medicine physicians to adapt to the needs of a community and advocate for the larger communities to which patients belong. I was involved in medical education as part of the Task Force on Inclusion and Bias and Committee on Justice and Equity, where we organized medical students to address racism in clerkship grading and honor society induction. I am particularly interested in using medicine as a tool for social justice, parent-child health, reproductive justice, gender affirming care, addiction medicine, and the intersection of public health and community medicine. In my free time, I enjoy taking long road trips, a big bowl of soup, backyard barbeques, sleeping, summer picnics, reading for hours on end, neighborhood bike rides, eating sushi, and watching both good and bad TV."
