Christopher Knight, MD, FACP is Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Washington where he also completed his MD degree and internal medicine residency. He spent a year as the Chief Resident for Ambulatory Care at University of Washington Medical Center, followed by a teaching position as a primary care internist. Dr. Knight has turned his passion for teaching and primary care into a bewildering array of roles: He is an associate director with both the student and residency programs in internal medicine, and coordinates rural internal medicine teaching programs throughout the five-state WWAMI region served by the University of Washington. Other than hiking, cycling, and skiing, his primary interest is in integrating new science into clinical practice, and he enjoys talking with anyone interested, from first-year students to physicians long in practice.
