Dr. Kruse: Making Your Dreams Take Flight
Join me for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Jill Kruse, a physician, pilot, entrepreneur, and lifelong learner. From blending medicine with aviation to mastering historical sewing and aerial arts, Dr. Kruse embodies the power of curiosity and reinvention.
Dr. Jill Kruse is a family medicine physician with a diverse background and a passion for blending medicine, education, and entrepreneurship.
She earned her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed her residency through the University of Wisconsin - Baraboo Rural Training Track in family medicine.
Her academic journey also includes an undergraduate degree from Augustana College and a Master of Science in Microbiology from South Dakota State University.
As the CEO of Flight Time Medical, she specializes in providing aviation medical services, combining her expertise as a pilot and physician.
When not at Flight Time Medical, she is a hospitalist and also serves as the host of On Call with the Prairie Doc, a public television program dedicated to improving medical literacy.
Known for her versatility, she has been featured on the local CBS affiliate show Keloland Living for her popular “Jill of All Trades” segments, showcasing her wide-ranging skills in historical sewing, making chainmail, aerial arts, theatrical costuming, and set design.
Her passion for learning and teaching is evident in every endeavor she pursues.
She is the recipient of the Tomorrow’s Leaders Award from the Catholic Health Association and the Inspirational Physician Award from the AMA Women’s Section.
Beyond medicine, her creativity shines in the arts. She won Best Set Design twice from Broadway World South Dakota for her work on Murder on the Orient Express and Matilda the Musical. She also took home "Best in Show" at Brookings Habitat for Humanity’s "Nail the Runway" fashion show—a competition inspired by Project Runway’s unconventional materials challenge, where at least 50% of the dress must be crafted from construction materials.
Additionally, Dr. Kruse has contributed to academic and literary works, with chapters in Transforming the Heart of Practice (edited by McCallister & Hamilton) and Perspectives From the Prairie, a collection of Prairie Doc newspaper essays.
