Medicine, Strategy & the Future of Care

Dr. Christine Kohn is a physician, pharmacist, health economist, and healthcare strategist whose career spans Internal Medicine, Pharmacy, health policy, and outcomes research. As Director of Population Health Strategy at Bespoke Concierge MD, she leads the development of data-informed, value-based care models that align high-touch concierge medicine with scalable population health impact, focusing on leveraging clinical insight, rigorous analytics, and digital innovation to design care pathways that are both patient-centered and operationally sustainable.

‍

Dr. Kohn is known for building well-rounded, cross-functional programs that integrate clinical operations, quality and safety initiatives, and payment strategy into cohesive, high-performing care models. She has led initiatives in value-based care, women’s health, and virtual-first primary care that combine real-world data, workflow redesign, and team-based care to improve outcomes while supporting clinician experience and financial sustainability. Her work in health economics and outcomes research, including more than 40 peer-reviewed publications, underpins a deeply analytical approach to program design, ensuring that innovation is grounded in evidence and measurable impact.

‍

A strong believer in the strategic use of technology, Dr. Kohn has hands-on experience incorporating conversational AI, remote care, and integrated claims and clinical data into outpatient workflows. She has advised digital health startups and health plans on go-to-market strategy, population segmentation, and care model design, helping organizations translate complex analytics into practical, clinician-friendly tools and scalable programs. Her program-building emphasizes thoughtful governance, change management, and user-centered design so that advanced analytics and AI augment, rather than replace, the human relationships at the heart of medicine.

‍

Dr. Kohn holds MD and PharmD degrees from the University of Connecticut and completed an AHRQ-funded fellowship in Health Economics and Outcomes Research before training in Internal Medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center / Harvard Medical School. She serves as an Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School, a primary care physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, and the David F. Torchiana Fellow in Health Policy and Management at Mass General Brigham, roles that give her a unique vantage point on how policy, payment, and frontline care intersect. At Bespoke Concierge MD, she brings this multifaceted expertise to architect learning health systems and population health strategies that connect concierge-level care with broader gains in access, equity, and value.

My work in medicine is shaped by caring for patients at their most vulnerable moments and by improving the systems that serve them. I believe the best care is personal, evidence-driven, and intentionally designed to be accessible.
