18 <br /> Page 2 of 2 Deborah Porterfield <br /> Ever since leaving the practice of public health in NC and entering a position at RTI where I <br /> support public health (but indirectly)at the federal level, I have had the intent to serve on a NC <br /> Board of Health or the Public Health Commission. 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 /> Supplemental Questions: <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br /> Other Comments: <br /> This application was current on: 5/23/2019 7:47:01 PM Date Printed: 5/31/2019 <br />
