When asked about joining the IMPLICIT Leadership Council, Dr. Smith said “I started working with the IMPLICIT Network nine years ago as a resident, and have enjoyed working with so many people dedicated to improving the health of families, as well as teaching the next generation of family physicians. I’m glad to be able to help spread our work even further.”
