My name is Debra Fuchs-Ertman, and I am an internist. I grew up in Massachusetts and attended Smith College as an undergraduate student, followed by Penn State University for medical school. I completed my residency at Maine Medical Center and enjoyed the area and medical community so much that I decided to stay. I have been in private practice with InterMed since 1997.
My husband and I have two adult daughters and truly enjoy living in Maine. I coached their community soccer teams for many years. We love the four seasons and the wide variety of things to do locally. The only downside is that the gardening season is short!
At InterMed, I have been more than a primary care physician. I served as the department head of the Weekend Clinic for two years. I also served on the Osteoporosis Task Force and on InterMed’s Finance Committee. In addition, I participated in InterMed’s research division as a sub-investigator on research trials.
Being a physician is challenging, but that is why I practice medicine. I enjoy getting to know my patients and find fulfillment in making a difference in their lives. I also value the ability to follow a patient over many years through primary care.
