Candidate Statement:
I have spent much of my career focusing on medical education, inspired by students and residents who are the very future of medicine.  As Governor, I would bring this optimism to the American College of Physicians (ACP). I see both didactic education and role-modeling as essential influences in the clinical and professional formation of physicians. Instilling the values of excellence and professionalism into the next generation will allow the ACP to achieve its goal to promote outstanding care through advocacy and education. Our current learners are our future leaders. I would spend each day demonstrating an ongoing commitment to patients, medical students, residents, colleagues, and the mission of the ACP.
