associate pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> family medicine<br />
“The college has been a wonderful<br />
place to work, full <strong>of</strong> new adventures,<br />
great people and challenges. I’ve met<br />
lifelong friends here and had the<br />
opportunity to influence more than a<br />
few students.”<br />
Life after OU-COM “I’ll continue<br />
to teach one quarter each year and<br />
will continue my clinical practice in<br />
Coolville. I also plan to spend time<br />
reading, golfing, socializing and taking<br />
up new endeavors.”<br />
Peter Johnson, Ph.D.<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> biomedical sciences<br />
“As a founding faculty member at<br />
OU-COM, I have been very pleased<br />
about the way our college has matured<br />
and strengthened over the years. Not<br />
only in terms <strong>of</strong> teaching, but also in<br />
that the college has developed a strong<br />
research focus. I have so much enjoyed<br />
working with the different units in the<br />
college, and I’m sure that I’ll undergo<br />
withdrawal symptoms in the early years<br />
<strong>of</strong> my retirement.”<br />
Life after OU-COM “I’ll be moving<br />
to the mountains <strong>of</strong> western North<br />
Carolina, but will be back in Athens<br />
for the next few summers to continue<br />
teaching in the Prematriculation and<br />
Summer Scholars programs. In North<br />
Carolina, I plan to continue some<br />
<strong>of</strong> my research, writing and editing.<br />
And, I also want to do some volunteer<br />
tutoring in middle and high schools.”<br />
William Duerfeldt, D.O.<br />
associate pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> family medicine<br />
“I’ve been truly blessed to have had<br />
the opportunity to teach and practice<br />
medicine at OU-COM. It has been a<br />
privilege to share my experiences, and<br />
my patients, with the scores <strong>of</strong> medical<br />
students who rotated through my<br />
Nelsonville <strong>of</strong>fice these past 27 years.<br />
I think that is what I’m going to miss<br />
the most.”<br />
Life after OU-COM “My wife and<br />
I are moving to Asheville, N.C., and<br />
visiting family in Oregon this summer.<br />
We plan to spend 3-6 months each<br />
year—beginning in September—working<br />
in Jerusalem for the humanitarian aid<br />
organization “Vision for Israel.”<br />
