“I look forward to getting to know the residents and learning their stories. I’m excited to hear their new and fresh ideas for life in general and for the world of medicine, and to share my experiences from my Family Medicine practice with them.”
Dr. Matthew Jacobsen has always had an interest in teaching in an academic setting and it's what inspired him to join Lincoln Family Medicine Residency Program’s faculty. With nearly 20 years working in private practice, he is looking forward to sharing his experiences with residents to help shape and encourage the next generation of family physicians. He is excited to learn from the residents and patients, and to collaborate with the well-respected faculty and staff at LFMRP.
