Virginia 500 Spotlight: DR. JOHN WHYTE
CEO AND EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, GREAT FALLS
FIRST JOB: I worked in a telephone research call center. I called you up and got you to answer 10 minutes of questions. That’s probably how I learned to be a good conversationalist. I tried to not have people hang up on me!
HOW I DEFINE SUCCESS: Having a meaningful impact on others.
WHAT I DO FOR FUN: My wife, sons and I … have been playing tennis. It’s a fun sport to make a family affair, and when it’s too cold, we do pingpong!
FAVORITE FASHION ACCESSORY: Sometimes it’s nice to ditch the smartwatch and wear a nice dress watch. I also choose cufflinks that have meaning for me, such as those bought by my mother for a milestone birthday.
DID YOU KNOW? During a November 2025 speech, Whyte laid out a blueprint for the AMA that includes elevating science-based policy, supporting public health messaging and “fiercely defending the patient-physician relationship from interference, whether it comes from politics, algorithms or bureaucracy.”
