Meet second-year @kufammed resident Dr. Courtney Petz!

She says her favorite thing about being a family med doc is having the opportunity to build lasting relationships with her patients.

Dr. Petz says she loves baking desserts and her very favorites are macarons.

Meet @kufammed PGY1 Dr. Rebecca Yang!
