Meet our newest member of faculty: Dr. Kristina Laguerre!!
🏡 Hometown: Glen Rock (North Jersey)
🧠 Academic interests: community medicine, women’s health, diversity in medicine, mentorship
👩🏾🏫 Favorite part of working with residents:
“I love to see how residents progress from day 1 to graduation! It’s so fulfilling knowing that you get to impact how a future doctor will go on to care for their patients. Through mentoring relationships, I have witnessed the personal and professional growth of my mentees, and that truly inspires me to continue working with residents.”
🧩 Hobbies: “arts & crafts (particularly holiday crafts), interior design (HomeGoods= my happy place), traveling, indoor cycling, board games, jigsaw puzzles”
💯Fun fact about me:
“I come from a BIG family. I love spending time with my family, especially holidays— which are always chaotic, but fun. As the youngest of 7, I’ve always had a ton of nieces and nephews, but I just had my first daughter in October. Being an auntie is one of my favorite roles and I’m loving this new experience as a mama 💕
- Professionally, I love organized medicine! I think there is something magical about large groups of physicians, from different walks of life, coming together to push the needle forward. I first got involved with the AAFP and AAFP Foundation in 2017 as a resident and have been heavily involved since. I am currently one of the physician trustees for the AAFP Foundation Board of Trustees. I travel to Kansas City often and always joke that KC (AAFP headquarters) is my home away from home.”
Thanks Dr. Laguerre, we’re lucky to have you!! 🍀
