Norm Jensen is grandfather to four, father to two, and husband to Nancy. He enjoys family, work, gardening, home remodeling, biking, skiing, fishing, hunting and thinking-writing-teaching about health care reform in Wisconsin. He works as a general internist, teacher-clinician at the University of Wisconsin (UW) - Madison where he was the founding director of the academic general internal medicine programs in 1970s.

A mid career focus on clinical skills resulted in a MS and ABD in Social-Psychology from UW; he credits a distance fellowship with AACH, guided by Dr. Mack Lipkin (FIT program) as the launching experience for many years of leadership in facilitating patient-physician communication skill development in medical students, residents, fellows, practicing physicians, faculty and himself. He looks forward to the possibility to giving back something of value to AACH and is currently serving as President-Elect. He will assume the presidency in 2009.
