In preparation, we’ve reviewed the director qualifications and attributes, including diversity and inclusion, to ensure the board’s composition reflects the racial, ethnic, geographic, subspecialty, and practice profile diversity that is reflected in our diplomate corps.
This work has positioned us well to find future directors among our nearly 700 volunteers to continue advancing our specialty, elevating practice standards and guiding lifelong learning well into the future.
I applaud the creation of the Absence from Training policy and wish that it had been in place during my Anesthesiology Residency and Fellowship almost 40 years ago.
