All right. And tell me a little bit about your family. You have your husband, Brad and two sons, correct?\n\nJulie Anderson: Yep. He's a ophthalmologist in town. We met in medical school at the university of Minnesota and we have two boys. I have a son Elliot, he's a freshman at Notre Dame studying pre-med right now. And I have a sophomore in high school, Owen.\n\nCrystal Bauer: So a fellow doctor, are you pushing for family medicine or? No.\n\nJulie Anderson: No. We're just being supportive of whatever he decides, even if it's not medicine or we're supportive of whatever he wants to do, he needs to find his own path.\n\nCrystal Bauer: That's a great view. Now you mentioned where you attended college, but where did you go for your residency?\n\nJulie Anderson: So I attended undergrad at University of Colorado in Boulder, where I grew up and then I moved to Minnesota for medical school. And then I stayed in Minnesota for my residency training at the rural family medicine residency program. At the time it was out of Waseca. Now it's out of Mankato in Southern Minnesota.\n\nCrystal Bauer: So why did you decide to go into family medicine?\n\nJulie Anderson: I was drawn to the ability to do a lot of different things in any given day. I like the, the breadth of what we do. I appreciate the, the, the type of conversations that we can have with people that are very in depth and meaningful to me as a provider. And my great, great grandparents were grandfathers, were family doctors out of Iowa. They used to go on, on, sorry about that. They used to go on horse and buggy calls to people's homes to deliver babies. And I just, I grew up in a small town and that kind of connection with, with the community was really important to me.\n\nCrystal Bauer: So what did you decide to do after completing your residency?\n\nJulie Anderson: So after residency, we moved up to St. Cloud Minnesota, and I joined a large private practice and I practiced full breadth, family medicine with obstetrics, and really just started to be part of the community, a place to raise our children and, and, and get to know our neighbors and, and I really wanted to practice in an area where I didn't have to compete for, for the ability to do everything that we're trained to do as family doctors and, and Minnesota is a great state in which to practice family medicine.\n\nCrystal Bauer: That makes sense. Well, let's kind of focus on kind of your past leadership roles. You served as Minnesota's chapter president. You were a Minnesota delegate to the AFP and have held other board positions. Could you kind of talk about the ways these positions have shaped you as a family, physician and leader?\n\nJulie Anderson: Sure. When I was in about my third year of practice, I, you know, you get to a point where you feel a little bit more confident in your, in your abilities as a provider. And, and I was just looking for something a little bit more. I've always been interested in advocacy for my patients, but I'm also advocacy for, for other family doctors. And I got invited to go to, well it's Nickel now, but, you know, to the, to the leadership meeting and as a delegate in representing women for our state of Minnesota and after meeting family docs from all over the country and recognizing how different practice can be and really how good we had it in Minnesota, to be honest with you, it just made me excited to be able to share stories and, and hear about what other great things people do around the country as family physicians and, and really that there aren't any bounds in our specialty.\n\nThe other reason why I love it and to advocate for, for us to continue to do that as places have challenges, even in our own community, we had a family doctor who was doing caesarean deliveries and he was, he had to go up against the, another specialty to, to really push for, for his right to, you know, and, and training supported it for him to be able to deliver his babies in, in those ways. So just, just being able to have a venue where you could advocate for, for others really intrigued me. And that led me to be in the various roles in our state chapter. And then that led to being on the commission for governmental advocacy and, and, and nationally, and being able to speak to elected officials about what we do as family physicians, many people, I, I'm always flabbergasted that they don't know what we do exactly, but, you know, sometimes just reminding them how, how, what we do and how well we do it and how cost-effective and, and how important it is to continue to ensure that people have access to family physicians.\n\nCrystal Bauer: So how did you become familiar with the foundation and what made you want to be involved?\n\nJulie Anderson: So I think it was maybe seven or eight years ago. I don't know. It was probably more than that. I, I went on the first delegate trip to Haiti, time flies when you're having fun I guess. I went on the first delegate trip. I had heard about it through the academy work that I was doing already. And so a friend of, colleague of mine, Mona, one of my business partners, and I went together down to Haiti and we were on the first medical team to go and treat patients. I had never really been on a medical mission trip, and I felt that doing it through the foundation through the academy was a very safe way to dip my feet into mission work. And, and it was a great experience. And I made a lot of lifetime friends there and as well as learned so much about what it's like to be a mission medical doctor, and then being in a third world country atmosphere, so close to home and, you know, just learning so much about the people in Haiti and, and what the, you know, just a way that, that our academy can reach out to less fortunate.\n\nAnd so meeting the people of the foundation while I was out there really made me realize how important of an organization within the organization of the AFP is. And, and so I was kind of drawn to being a part of that at a more leadership level.\n\nCrystal Bauer: So you served as foundation president in 2020. What made you interested in getting on the officer's track on the board of trustees to become president?\n\nJulie Anderson: I, I felt like I could share a lot of what I had learned from my leadership roles at the state level, you know, on the, on the foundation board, I've also served on the, on my clinic board and I have experience serving on other non-profit boards locally. So I felt like I had something to offer there as, as an officer. I think it's really important. We worked, at my time on the board, on our diversity of our board and many people when they think of diversity, they think of the color of our skin and our gender, but it goes way beyond that. You know, it's important to have people that practice still in private practice like myself that are, you know, in small communities, maybe not associated with an, an academic center, you know, it's good to have all those voices at the table, especially when you're asking the question of how can we help our membership, you know, through the heart of family medicine, through the foundation. And, and so looking around the table at the time, I was really the only person coming from that standpoint. And, and so I felt like that was a good message to carry forward into the leadership track.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Could you reflect on some of the high points of your responsibility as president?\n\nJulie Anderson: Well, I was president during a crazy time, not at all what I anticipated my president year would be like, you know, a lot of exciting things happened, but a lot of disappointments too, with the, you know, basically moving to a virtual world through the academy. That was hard to kind of grapple with when you have your, you know, bunch of plans for the year, but, you know, the staff were wonderful and always flexible. And, and the thing, I guess I've noticed, you know, we've, at my small clinic level, we are easily, easily nimble with what we do because we're small, but I was always amazed by how well the foundation could be nimble during this time being so large and, and supporting so many physicians working on the Humana grant, you know, was a huge step. You know, that was not something that, that was something that just came from COVID, you know, and, and that was an enormous win for, for, in partnership for, for the foundation to be involved in.\n\nAnd I think it probably sparked more opportunities for foundation partnerships to develop, especially when we talk about like our small free clinics that needed access to rapid testing and, and supplies and those kinds of things. So, so those kinds of things, even though we haven't been able to do our international travel, which is what draw, drew me to the foundation initially at the very beginning, in a way it's kind of circled back to home and being able to help people in our own backyards, which I was always kind of interested in, in us focusing more of our efforts on as well.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Absolutely. Well, you kind of answered, answered my next question, which was, you know, being president during COVID-19 and, and that impact on presidency and the foundation. It sounds like kind of the theme of that year was being nimble, which I'm glad that the foundation was able to do that during your presidency, as well as it sounds like your practice, which, which is fantastic. Was it more stressful being president during the pandemic and having probably more professional pressure, you know, in dealing with COVID as a working doctor, as well as maintaining, you know, the presidency?\n\nJulie Anderson: I think being a president was a lot easier because there was not the travel demands, you know, as, as there typically are, which I was somewhat grateful for because I was in the process of not only trying to manage COVID and how it affected our, our clinic and our staff and our patients, but also, I started a new construction build for a new clinic [crosstalk","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://centerforthehistoryoffamilymedicine.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2195/collection_resources/162025/file/294255#t=46.0,901.0"},{"id":"https://centerforthehistoryoffamilymedicine.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2195/collection_resources/162025/file/294255/transcript/85177/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"] [inaudible","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://centerforthehistoryoffamilymedicine.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2195/collection_resources/162025/file/294255#t=901.0,901.0"},{"id":"https://centerforthehistoryoffamilymedicine.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2195/collection_resources/162025/file/294255/transcript/85177/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"] . So we had plans to break ground that July. So we broke ground last July, and we opened this January, our, our brand new clinic location. So, so in a way it was a good, it was a godsend because, you know, not to have to travel for the foundation and be able to dedicate some more of my time and, and energy to getting the clinic up and running and dealing with all the pressures of COVID at the same time.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Well, congratulations on your new clinic opening, that's a huge accomplishment. Well, the, I think one of the biggest impacts that the foundation had, you mentioned was the million dollar Humana grant that we secured and went towards our humanitarian program, family medicine cares, USA. How excited were you? You know, when we got that grant and, and knew we were able to, to help all these, these clinics.\n\nJulie Anderson: Yeah. I, I had really nothing to do with it.

But, but I do think that one of the things that all of us officers kind of maybe push and encourage the staff to do from our standpoint is to reach out to, and think about new connections and, you know, and this was one way to do that. And I know Humana reached out to us, but, you know, at the same time, there's, you know, we've, we had conversations when we were at FMX with the Humana folks and, and I served on the, on the, on Shawn Martins position when we were looking for, for, to fill his, his job, [crosstalk","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://centerforthehistoryoffamilymedicine.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2195/collection_resources/162025/file/294255#t=982.0,1048.0"},{"id":"https://centerforthehistoryoffamilymedicine.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2195/collection_resources/162025/file/294255/transcript/85177/annotation/9","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"] with the AFP, to, you know, one of the Humana folks served on that with me. And I think maybe some of those conversations and connections about the foundation, cause I was on the selection committee on, on behalf of the foundation.

And so we're very, I think more forward thinking in terms of who we're selecting and, and as our notoriety, I guess, is the word I'm thinking of, has grown in the foundation. And, and I think we're able to have a lot more to choose from in terms of being picky and being very specific about the kinds of people that we need and want to, to have their voice on the board. And, and that, that goes for the physicians that are serving on the board, but also the public trustees and, and corporate trustees that we have involved in the, in the board as well.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Well, Julie, you are leading a very active and accomplished career and you're contributing so much to the specialty of family medicine. Before I conclude, is there anything you'd like to add that maybe we didn't cover about your time on the foundation board?\n\nJulie Anderson: I would just say that the foundation really has expanded my worldview of the kinds of things that family physicians can do for others. You know, I think within our clinics, we know what we bring to the table, to our patient interactions, but as an organization, what we're able to do through our philanthropy work, whether it's working in other countries or closer to home with free clinics, or whether it's helping support students and residents to, to get into and continue the family medicine focus, you know, and then our research, you know, that, that we're supporting folks that don't even really have a background in research, but are interested and want to do more and learn more. I just think, I think we're on the right road and it's great to leave it in totally capable hands with the rest of the staff. And, and I would also say that people do a great job at the academy and at the foundation and every single person I've ever interacted with, that our staff there are just a joy to work with, totally easy to work with. And so support the mission and the vision of, of what we do every day in our clinics. I just wish you hadn't lived in St. Cloud (laughs).\n\nCrystal Bauer: (Laughs) Well, we can't change our location, but thank you so much for all your time, Julie, and all your hard work with the foundation and family medicine.\n\nJulie Anderson: It's been my pleasure.
