McLaren Thumb Region Hospital - McLaren Health Care issued the following announcement on June 22.
The Michigan Academy of Family Physicians (MAFP) has named McLaren-Flint Family Medicine resident Julie Thai, MD, MPH “Resident of the Year.” Each year, the MAFP selects one Family Medicine resident in Michigan, “who exhibits qualities of exemplary patient care, demonstrates leadership, displays a commitment to the community, contributes to scholarly activity and is dedicated to the specialty of family medicine,” to receive this prestigious award.
When asked about being selected, the humble Thai was quick to credit others for helping her succeed.
“The award is reflective of the people I am serving and those who are training me, like Drs. Prabhat Pohkrel and Paul Lazar. It is a true team effort,” said Thai.
She also recently received the Association of Family Medicine Residency Directors (AFMRD) Family Medicine Resident Award for Advocacy, which is a national distinction that highlights her ongoing advocacy efforts in Michigan.
