Hello, I’m
Dr.Jyothi Patri
“My journey in medicine began with a deep desire to understand and heal, evolving into a lifelong mission to lead, teach, and transform the way we practice medicine through empathy, innovation, and purpose.”
About Me
I am Dr. Jyothi Patri, a double board-certified physician in Family and Lifestyle Medicine. I am an educator, leader, consultant for Graduate Medical Education and primary care health systems, and a patient advocate.
“I believe in meeting patients where they are, understanding their stories, and guiding them towards sustainable wellness.”
My practice is grounded in connection and continuity. Integrating evidence-based medicine with the principles of Lifestyle Medicine allows me to help patients make informed, lasting changes that support both physical and emotional health. For me, sustainability extends beyond environmental stewardship – it means cultivating mindful, compassionate, and enduring practices for patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems alike.
“My passion for education has been the foundation of my leadership journey.”
Immersed in academic medicine, I have developed programs and curricula that promote excellence, wellness, and professional growth amongst trainees. This fusion of clinical expertise, patient advocacy, and commitment to lifelong learning has shaped me into a well-rounded physician leader – one who strives to inspire the next generation to approach medicine not merely as a career, but as a calling rooted in humanity and sustainable care.
My Clinical Journey
From rural clinics to academic hospitals, my clinical path has been grounded in the belief that every patient’s story matters. My experiences as a frontline physician and as a patient advocate shaped my philosophy that medicine is both science and humanity. These encounters honed my diagnostic acumen and strengthened my resolve to empower patients with knowledge, compassion, and continuity of care.
Family and Lifestyle Medicine
As a Family and Lifestyle Medicine Physician, I integrate evidence-based medicine with holistic wellness. My approach emphasizes prevention, mindful living, and personalized care plans that promote sustainable health. I believe healing begins when patients become partners in their wellness journey.
Graduate Medical Education
My commitment to medical education extends beyond teaching, it is about shaping future leaders. I have designed curricula, spearheaded residency programs, and mentored physicians to excel in clinical reasoning, leadership, and resilience. My initiatives have strengthened GME programs through innovative teaching models, quality improvement projects, and well-being frameworks that inspire growth and balance.

Beyond Medicine
Beyond medicine, I am a mother to an 8-year-old daughter, wife to a nephrologist, and pet parent to a spirited 2.5-year-old Maltese. I am also a daughter, sister, and friend to many beautiful souls.
“Exploring art, culture, and new experiences brings us depth, clarity, and purpose.”
Whether hiking in nature, traveling to gain new perspectives, or creating art with loved ones, these pursuits allow me to reconnect with what truly matters. They strengthen empathy and resilience – qualities that enrich how I lead, teach, and care. Living mindfully reminds me that growth extends beyond the clinic, and I hope to inspire future physicians to live with intention – cultivating harmony between work, relationships, and the world we share.
