Lisa Bohman Egbert, MD

Lisa Bohman Egbert, MD, was elected speaker of the House of Delegates (HOD) of the American Medical Association in June 2023. Dr. Egbert, an active AMA member since her first year of medical school, has held numerous leadership positions that reflect her commitment to organized medicine. She began by serving as the student representative to the AMA Women in Medicine Advisory Panel and then as a member of the governing councils of both the AMA Resident Physician Section and later the AMA Young Physician Section (YPS), including serving as chair of the AMA-YPS. She served on the AMPAC board, the AMA’s political action committee, and on the AMA Council on Medical Service before her election in 2019 as vice speaker of the AMA-HOD.

Dr. Egbert is privileged to represent the AMA on the Commission on Laboratory Accreditation (COLA) and the AMA Foundation Board of Directors. She also serves as a liaison to the AMA Medical Student Section.

A strong advocate at the state and local levels, Dr. Egbert served as president of Ohio’s Montgomery County Medical Association and the Ohio State Medical Association. She is a fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Dr. Egbert was forced to close her solo OB-GYN practice after 27 years due to the financial constraints caused by 30 years of stagnant physician practice payment paired with the rising overhead expense of private practice. This painful experience continues to fuel her passion for advocating for physicians, especially those who choose private practice. Recently, she forged a new career path, teaching residents on labor and delivery, in the OR, and in the clinic. She is excited to have the opportunity to share her years of practice experience with the next generation of physicians.

Dr. Egbert graduated summa cum laude and with honors from The Ohio State University earning her undergraduate and medical degrees. She is a lifetime member of The Ohio State University Alumni Association and a President’s Club member. Dr. Egbert also serves on the board of the Buckeye Leadership Fellows, a novel leadership development program designed to empower a cohort of students with leadership skills developed outside the classroom.

Dr. Egbert is happily married to the “other” Dr. Egbert, Brad, an anesthesiologist. They have two sons and a daughter and have recently welcomed two daughters-in-law to the family.
