Elisabeth Fowlie Mock, MD, MPH, FAAFP, grew up in Maine and Massachusetts and traveled to the Southeast to complete her education and residency. She was one of two in a medical school class of 100 who matched in family medicine. After residency, she completed a Master of Public Health and then returned home to Maine-- a rural state that is one big, small town.
Dr. Mock considers family physicians as the most "todi-potential" in all medicine. She has worked in a number of clinical settings, including outpatient and inpatient medicine; a public health clinic, including outpatient maternity and pediatric care; urgent care; full-time full-scope residency faculty; and low-barrier addiction care. She currently works weekend nocturnist shifts at her state's second largest hospital and serves as the medical officer coordinating transfers.
During the 12 years she homeschooled her three children and worked night shifts, she developed a passion for delivering CME on topics related to evidence-based prescribing and eventually obtained consulting roles related to the opioid crisis.
Dr. Mock’s AAFP leadership experience includes filling many roles in her medium-sized chapter, serving in the Congress of Delegates for 15 years, and five years on the Commission for Continuing Professional Development, including a year as chair. She has completed two year-long physician leadership intensives through a program of her state medical society.
Dr. Mock’s enthusiasm for family medicine is matched only by her passion for girls’ and women’s basketball. Due to shortages in her community, she became a certified basketball official at age 51. A few years ago, she set a still elusive goal to obtain a competitive rating of 1,000 in chess. In her spare time, she gives speeches at her Toastmasters club, plays with her three doodle dogs, travels by RV, sings in choir and spends time with family.
