"Christina Berry Knox received her Master of Medical Science degree from Emory University in 2007. She also holds a bachelor's degree in history from Davidson College. Chris's first career was in college administration at her alma mater where she worked for 7 years after graduation. After leaving Davidson she traveled out West to Jackson Hole, WY, where as an administrator she helped establish a new primary care medical practice. It was through this experience and some soul-searching that Chris identified practicing medicine as her true calling. After graduating from Emory University and achieving Board Certification, Chris practiced in Primary Care, Orthopaedics, and Urgent Care for over a decade, incorporating nutrition and lifestyle therapies to help patients prevent or reduce the need for pharmaceutical interventions. In 2016 Chris completed Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice training through the Institute for Functional Medicine, and in 2019 she achieved Certification in Functional Medicine through IFM (IFMCP). She is a member of the Institute for Functional Medicine, Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine, American Academy of Physician Assistants, and Georgia Academy of Physician Assistants. She has maintained national board certification for Physician Assistants, serves on the Admission Committee for Emory University's PA Program, and mentors medical students. A wife and mother, Chris tries to achieve work-life balance, without truly knowing exactly what that means."
