Overall work and family responsibilities have <br />prevented me from applying for this role until now. <br />I am applying for an at-large position. Though I am a physician by training, I no longer do <br />individual patient care, which may be a necessary prerequisite for the physician position. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />I do not believe this is a COI, however I have a professional connection to Dr. Pettigrew, the <br />Medical Director, who serves on the Residency Advisory Committee for the residency I direct <br />and has mentored Preventive Medicine residents in the past. Dr. Pettigrew is aware I intend to <br />apply for this position, and if this creates any conflict of interest we will determine how it can be <br />addressed or mitigated. <br />20
