Terri Kulie, MD followed a winding path leading ultimately to the Northeast Clinic where she is a happy family physician who also serves as an Associate Program Director.

Terri graduated with a Biology degree from the University of Michigan (she still considers herself a Wolverine each football season). Unsure about her future career, but certain of her love of teaching, she joined the then-fledgling national service organization, Teach for America. Teaching in underserved schools in rural North Carolina and inner-city Baltimore only intensified her passion for education. After serving three challenging years, she rediscovered her appreciation of biology and applied to medical school.

At the University of Maryland Medical School, Terri found many opportunities to blend teaching and medicine. She tutored, organized TAR WARS, led lectures while president of AOA, and grew to appreciate that good doctoring is good teaching. After graduating first in her class, she happily packed her family and moved to Madison.

During residency here at the UW, Terri continued to grow as a physician and teacher. She earned the McGovern-Tracy award for community service by teaching at a local high school. She also served as a chief resident. At graduation, she was honored by her peers with the Residency Teaching Award.

After a two-year Academic Fellowship focusing on resident portfolios and education, Terri joined the faculty full-time. She continues at the Northeast Clinic, now entering her 6th year of patient care there. Scholarly interests naturally center around education. She serves as the Associate Program Director specializing in Professional Development, specifically resident portfolios. She remains active in teaching medical students and residents.

Her family keeps her grounded in reality! Katie started first grade in the fall. She loves to read and play in her new treehouse. Katie also loves her brother Alex (2 1/2 yrs old) who she describes as "mostly funny but sometimes annoying". Alex is a very good kisser and likes to pretend to be Scooby Doo. Terri's husband Mark is pursuing a PhD in Meteorology at the UW. He loves tornadoes and home-grown tomatoes. Their dog Moses has a very large head, but is otherwise quite cute.
