Hi, I'm Doctor Chris Jenson!
Chris Jenson’s life began with a lot of smiling, crawling, wetting diapers, and shooting peas out his nose. However, his parents fostered a loving home where he could mature over time and develop strong interests in healthcare and education. By age eighteen, those curiosities combined with ridiculously strong coffee, and an official launch into adulthood took place. Chris jumped headlong into the “era of fours”, spending four wonderful years at the University of Notre Dame, four more years at Loyola University School of Medicine, and as you might have guessed, a final four year rotation with the Northwestern Emergency Medicine Residency Program.
After this academic decathlon, Chris spent the next chunk of his life working with patients in emergency departments and urgent care environments, where he loved spending time with patients and working with junior residents. This triggered an unexpected spark and interest in education. After a lot of thoughtful consideration and support from his wife, Chris left clinical medicine and transitioned into teaching and consulting. He loved the opportunity to work with young minds and quickly earned Kansas First Year of the Year, along with several other accolades. Chris’ interest in educational redesign led to a competitive Science Ambassador Fellowship with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where Chris worked with public health leaders and accomplished educators to improve the relevance and impact of classroom experiences.
Over time, Chris began to share his work and ideas with school districts across the nation. He has spent the last four years serving as a consultant for public health challenges in education, offering data driven solutions. Additionally, Chris continues to enjoy his role as chief health advisor for a district of 25,000 students and staff. Most of all, Chris is blessed beyond words for his beautiful and brilliant wife and his two amazing daughters, who fortunately take after their mother.
Please join Chris in an effort to reshape young adults with the skills needed to see SOLUTIONS instead of problems.
