Britt Ehlert, MD
My specialties:
- Internal medicine
Professional interests:
- Preventive care
- Women's Health
I am a board-certified internal medicine physician with professional interests in preventive care and women's health.
I became a physician because: I come from a medical family and this has always been a career that made sense to me. Medicine is a unique opportunity to engage with people in a meaningful way, while also being intellectually stimulated on a daily basis. Each patient is different from the last, and their own stories and medical problems are endlessly interesting.
I am passionate about: taking care of people because it's spiritually fulfilling to help others.
Something I have learned from my patients is: that they appreciate empathetic listening and an organized, thoughtful approach to problems.
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is: negotiating with patients as we address their medical problems and improve their overall health. This process reveals barriers to change that I may not have considered and helps me learn new ways to help future patients.
One of the best things I have done for my health is: to make exercise a priority to help relieve stress and to set a good example for my kids.
