Jeff Fritz, PhD, currently serves as the Associate Director for Learning and Partnership Development at the Kern National Network for Flourishing in Medicine (KNN).

The KNN is a national movement whose work is focused on the integration of four foundational elements within the profession of medicine: character, caring, practical wisdom and flourishing. The KNN partners nationwide across the healthcare ecosystem to transform its educational and practice settings to create the conditions promoting flourishing.

Prior to joining the KNN in 2023, Jeff served as an associate professor at Medical College of Wisconsin-Central Wisconsin campus beginning with its inaugural class in 2016. During that time, he provided instruction in multiple pre-clerkship courses.

He also helped oversee and develop a medical student coaching program, and SPO – a near-peer support network focused on increasing awareness and prevention of suicide.  He finds his greatest professional rewards in coaching, mentoring, and developing teams. He and his spouse are the proud parents of four young adults.
