Lisa Bohman Egbert, MD

Lisa Bohman Egbert, MD, was elected speaker of the House of Delegates of the American Medical Association in June 2023. Dr. Egbert, who has been attending AMA meetings since her first year of medical school, has held numerous leadership positions that reflect her commitment to organized medicine and span every stage of her career. 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 Young Physician Section (YPS), including serving as chair of the AMA-YPS. Subsequently, she served on the board of AMPAC, 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 House of Delegates. She continues to serve as a member of the AMA Board of Trustees.

Dr. Egbert is privileged to represent the AMA on the COLA Board of Directors and on the AMA Foundation Board of Directors and its executive committee. She is a liaison to the AMA Litigation Center Executive Committee.

In addition to her involvement at the national level, Dr. Egbert has been a strong advocate at the state and local levels. She is a past president of Ohio’s Montgomery County Medical Association and the Ohio State Medical Association.

A born and bred Buckeye, Dr. Egbert graduated summa cum laude and with honors from The Ohio State University earning her undergraduate and medical degrees. After completing her residency, Dr. Egbert began her solo practice in obstetrics and gynecology in Dayton, Ohio. According to Dr. Egbert, having that “one-on-one relationship” with her patients is the best part of being a physician.

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 has been happily married to the “other” Dr. Egbert for more than 30 years. Her husband, Brad, is an anesthesiologist in private practice in Dayton. They have two sons and a daughter and are excited to have recently welcomed a daughter-in-law to the family.
