Ghumman was drawn to family medicine because of his passion for comprehensive care and long term relationships with patients, he explained. Currently he serves a diverse community of 5,000 individuals in East Granby, Connecticut, where he provides care for patients of all ages and various clinical conditions.

Since stepping into his role as CSMS president, Ghumman has focused on advocacy and health policy during an active legislative session. He has testified on different bills centering reducing administrative burdens for healthcare providers and improving access to healthcare in Connecticut.

“I have been entrusted with the responsibility of representing our community and advocating for the interests of physicians. This role allows me to collaborate with lawmakers, regulators and other stakeholders to address healthcare challenges and influence policy at the state level,” said Ghumman.

Ghumman's leadership extends beyond advocacy. As Clerkship Director at the Quinnipiac Netter School of Medicine he has played a tremendous role in preparing students for successful medical careers.

“Since the very beginning of Netter School of Medicine, I have been serving as a founding clerkship director,” said Dr. Ghumman. “This has been an immensely gratifying experience, enabling me to assist students in making well-informed career decisions. It has undoubtedly been one of my most cherished roles throughout my professional journey so far.”

For Ghumman, National Physicians Week is an opportunity to recognize the dedication and hard work of medical professionals who provide essential care to their communities.

“It’s a time to reflect on the countless ways in which physicians make a difference in patient’s lives, often going above and beyond to ensure high-quality healthcare,” he said.

Looking ahead, Ghumman remains committed to both clinical and academic medicine, continuing to advocate for physicians while mentoring future leaders in healthcare.

“As physicians, we possess unique skills that enable us to help others and get paid for helping. What better profession could one ask for?” he said.
