As we recognize Physician Family Day, ABFM is highlighting a conversation with Diplomate Dr. Mott Blair, a board-certified family physician with ECU Health and past president of the North Carolina Academy of Family Physicians. Dr. Blair sat down with Dr. Gary LeRoy, SVP of Diplomate Experience at ABFM, for an interview that explores the vital role family plays in supporting physicians throughout their careers.

Physician Family Day recognizes not only the physicians who dedicate their lives to patient care, but also the families who stand behind them, offering support through the long hours, difficult decisions, and demanding schedules that come with practicing medicine. In this conversation, Dr. Blair reflects on that support system and what it has meant to him throughout his career in family medicine.

This interview is part of a new video series featuring extended segments from Dr. Blair's full conversation with Dr. LeRoy. Watch the full episode below, and check back for more from this series.
