🎙️ Featured Speaker: Christine Khandelwal, DO Professor of Family Medicine & Director of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine at Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine

Dr. Khandelwal is a distinguished clinician-educator who has spent the last decade developing essential medical programs, including the Inpatient Palliative Care Consult Service at the WakeMed Hospital System, to improve clinical care for vulnerable and seriously ill populations.

Groundbreaking Research & Academic Background Osteopathic Training: She graduated from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and went on to complete her residency in Family Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Specialized Fellowships: Realizing her deep passion for caring for complex, geriatric, and seriously ill populations, she completed a Geriatrics Fellowship at UNC Chapel Hill with a tight concentration in Hospice and Palliative Medicine. Community Impact: Driven to serve those most in need, she brought her extensive expertise in interprofessional medical education to Harnett County to actively train healthcare teams and elevate care standards for vulnerable seniors.

Elite Leadership & Diversity Advocacy: Dr. Khandelwal currently serves as the Board President of the North Carolina Medical Board, following a prestigious appointment by NC Governor Roy Cooper. She has held multiple critical roles, including:

Pioneering President: She is the first hospice and palliative medicine physician in North Carolina to serve on the Medical Board, and only the second female osteopathic physician to hold the title of President in the Board’s 150-year history. Policy and Access Advocate: She actively participates in shaping state-level healthcare policy, including making critical decisions regarding fair access to restricted medications and expanding overall care access across the state. Nurturing Future Leaders: Dr. Khandelwal consistently integrates her students and learners into her national, state, and regional advocacy efforts to build the next generation of compassionate healthcare leaders.
