  • 'A Window for Helping My Patients': AAFP Member and California Assembly Member Jasmeet Bains, M.D.
    Feb 19 2025
    In this episode of the Fighting for Family Medicine podcast recorded at FMX 2024, David Tully, vice president of Government Relations and a member of AAFP’s advocacy team, talks with Jasmeet Bains, M.D., about how her family medicine practice and advocacy inform her role as an elected member of the California Assembly. She is one of only a handful of Academy members to have held statewide office, giving her an unusual — and valuable — perspective on what physicians bring to their engagement with lawmakers.  “This gives me a window for helping my patients in a way that I couldn't in my clinic,” she says of her time so far in office. Dr. Bains earned the 2019 Hero of Family Medicine Award from the California AFP and has held a variety of local, state and national leadership roles, including as a scholar with the AAFP's Leading Physician Well-being Program.
