AAMC CFAS News, November 5:
The AAMC announced its new board of directors, reflecting recently approved changes to create a broader and more flexible board structure. The new board’s term begins Nov. 10. Kirk A. Calhoun, MD, president of the University of Texas at Tyler, becomes the new chair of the Board and LouAnn Woodward, MD, vice chancellor and dean of the University of Mississippi Medical Center School of Medicine, becomes chair-elect. As the incoming CFAS chair-elect, Nita Ahuja, MD, MBA (ELAM ’17) chair of the Department of Surgery at Yale School of Medicine, begins her first term on the Board, and Aviad “Adi” Haramati, PhD, incoming CFAS Chair, begins his second term. Outgoing CFAS Chair Gabriela Popescu, PhD, will rotate off the Board. Also joining the AAMC Board of Directors is Catherine L. Coe, MD, of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. Dr. Coe is the first board member to fill a new seat reserved for junior faculty. CFAS developed and managed the nomination and review process used to find candidates for the seat.

Joanne Conroy, MD, CEO (ELAM ’98) and president of Lebanon, N.H.-based Dartmouth-Hitchcock and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health, became accustomed to monitoring her patients' vital signs during her clinical career as an anesthesiologist.
