About Julie Çelebi, MD, MS, FAAFP

I am a Family Medicine physician and Associate Clinical Professor in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of California, San Diego. I am actively involved in educating medical students, residents, and other learners at UCSD Health and the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health. In addition to small group teaching and clinic precepting, I am co-director of the Compassionate Action and Real Engagement in the Community (CARE) course at UCSD’s School of Medicine. 

Some of my clinical interests include reproductive health and obstetrics, office procedures, LGBTQ+ healthcare, health equity and advocacy for medically vulnerable populations. I enjoy fostering long-term relationships with patients, caring for families, and empowering patients with a greater awareness of their health. You can find me on LinkedIn or Twitter, spreading the word about my #FamilyDocJoys and the power of comprehensive primary care.

I am the Wellness Director for Family Medicine as well as for Graduate Medical Education at UCSD, spearheading and studying a myriad of initiatives to optimize clinician wellness. I also serve as a Well-Being Educator for the American Academy of Family Physicians, providing mentorship and creating wellness content to support my colleagues in Family Medicine.

I am a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians and have been actively involved in organized medicine for many years. I completed my residency training in Family Medicine at the Stanford-O'Connor Family Medicine Residency Program, with special emphasis on full-spectrum Family Medicine, integrative medicine, and faculty development. I completed my undergraduate medical training with a specialization in medicine for underserved/vulnerable populations at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. I received my BA in Sociology and Latin American Studies from the University of Chicago, and MS in Basic Medical Sciences from Wayne State University.

I’m a mother of two young children and grateful for a longtime partner who has been with me through it all. I enjoy hiking with my family, crafting poetry and reflective writing, and finding clarity and peace through yoga, dance, and meditation.

This blog is meant to be a reflective tool on lessons in medicine, public health, compassionate healthcare, and anything else that inspires me. Thanks for following!
