Bio

Kim Krawzak, MD (she/her/hers) became an academic fellow at DFMCH in 2025. Krawzak’s passion for patient-centered care is what drew her to family medicine, where the patient is viewed not just as an individual but as a member of a family and broader community with countless interactions from variables outside the clinical setting. Making the clinic a safe space for patients is especially important for building trust with the clinic and healthcare system, thereby promoting health. Taking all this into account, Krawzak’s professional interests grew from a need to make care accessible and equitable for her patients.

Krawzak is learning how to make reproductive care accessible for patients and wants to learn how best to teach reproductive-related procedures to colleagues and those in training. She is working towards that goal by making training for procedures effective and accessible to providers, who can then provide that care for their patients. Currently, she offers training to providers through family medicine conferences using a cost-effective, easily reproducible simulator model and is working with providers across the country to improve training for reproductive-related procedures.

Clinical Interests

Krawzak is particularly passionate about providing care that is accessible and equitable for her patients. She is especially interested in reproductive health care and prenatal care.

Research Interests

Krawzak is researching effective ways to teach IUD insertions and paracervical blocks along with how to use cervical dilators and other tools for finding missing IUD strings. By working with several different residency programs around the country, different simulator models are being tried and tested to streamline teaching OBGYN procedures.
