Resident Spotlight: Ehita Nkem Oboh, PGY-1

The Michigan Academy of Family Physicians offers residents meaningful opportunities to grow as leaders and advocates. Learn how Ehita Nkem Oboh, a PGY-1 Family Medicine Resident at Henry Ford Hospital is strengthening her family medicine connection through MAFP.

Why did you want to serve as a Resident Ambassador?
I love working alongside my fellow residents and advocating for opportunities that strengthen our education, professional growth, and well-being across Michigan.

What is one way MAFP has supported you during residency?
MAFP has broadened my understanding of the multiple avenues for physician advocacy and helped me better understand how residents can meaningfully engage with other healthcare professionals in shaping healthcare and hospital policies. I am particularly excited for Advocacy Day to work with state legislators and to champion family practice in our lovely state, Michigan.  

What would you tell another resident who’s considering getting involved with MAFP?
Absolutely get involved! MAFP offers invaluable opportunities for mentorship, advocacy, and connections beyond your home institution.
