Courtney, tell us some more about yourself.
1:35
Thanks, Nick.

So I began my career in obstetrics and gynecology.
1:39
After finishing my residency, I joined a private practice where I became partner after a couple of years and worked in that private practice for about 15 years.
1:48
Over the course of that practice, I became interested in obesity medicine, got boarded in 2014 and opened up a small little cash practice on the side while I was still practicing OBGYN full time and really just fell madly in love with the field.
2:05
eventually told my partners that that's what I wanted to be when I grew up and it didn't go over very well.
2:12
So I did some work and hung a shingle and left my job and started the first insurance-based obesity medicine practice in the Kent City area, which was super fun and in hindsight, very reckless, but it worked and it just checked all the buckets of what I wanted to be when I grew up.

So where do you see it going from here? What's sort of the next steps that are happening within the OMA?
