RESIDENTS' REVIEW
|
| Call to Serve
on ASA Committees |
Scott E. Metzger, M.D., Chair
Resident Component Governing Council
Over the past five years, resident participation in ASA activities
has increased dramatically. ASA leadership continues to foster
this involvement by appointing residents to serve as adjunct members
of various ASA committees. While serving on these committees,
residents are given the chance to participate in formal ASA activities
and to sharpen their leadership skills.
President-Elect William D. Owens, M.D., has appointed 24 residents
to serve as adjunct members of the 1998 ASA committees [Table
1]. These one-year appointments begin at the conclusion of
the ASA Annual Meeting in October 1997. These residents are also
invited to attend the Resident Component House of Delegates meeting
during the ASA Annual Meeting.
In November, a request for applications from residents to serve
as committee members for the 1999 term will be sent to each residency
program. Applications should include a cover letter describing
the resident's interest in serving on an ASA committee, a curriculum
vitae and a preference list of up to three committees. Descriptions
of each committee are found in the ASA Bylaws section in the ASA
Directory of Members.
Applications must be received no later than January 1, 1998,
at the ASA Executive Office. Candidates will receive their appointments
in the summer of 1998. More information may be obtained from Ronald
A. Bruns, Director of Administrative Affairs, ASA Executive Office,
520 N. Northwest Highway, Park Ridge, IL 60068-2573; telephone
(847) 825-5586. Current resident committee members may also be
contacted for more information.
