RESIDENTS' REVIEW
|
| Call for a New
Residents' Review Editor |
Jack Cooley, M.D.
Interim Editor, Residents' Review
Unfortunately, one of my first duties after being appointed Interim
Editor for the "Residents' Review" section of the ASA NEWSLETTER
is to call for applications for a new editor beginning in March
2001. The term of office is two years, and the chair of the Resident
Component Governing Council, now chair-elect, will appoint the
position after the ASA Annual Meeting in October 2000.
ASA has made a strong commitment to encourage resident involvement
in ASA, and the "Residents' Review" section of the NEWSLETTER
is an opportunity for residents to voice their concerns, ideas
and suggestions to the greater community of anesthesiologists.
The editor position is an excellent platform by which a resident
with two years remaining in training can influence resident involvement
in ASA.
The editor is responsible for solicitation of authors for appropriate
articles for the "Residents' Review" column, editing the submissions,
collecting the applicable author information and forwarding the
submission to the ASA NEWSLETTER in a timely manner. Additionally,
the editor is accountable for several articles during the year,
such as this one, and has the option of authoring other articles
as well. Finally, the editor must compile the residents' issue
in March 2002. (See past April issues of the ASA NEWSLETTER
for examples of this biennial activity.) The editor also attends
the meetings of the Resident Component Governing Council at the
semi-annual meetings of the Board of Directors in Chicago, Illinois.
Residents interested in the editorship should send their application
to the ASA Executive Office by September 1, 2000. Applications
should include a cover letter describing the resident's interest
in the position, a current curriculum vitae and the name and address
of the resident's training program director. Prior editorial or
writing experience is preferred, but not required.
The ASA Executive Office must receive applications by September
1, 2000, and the chair will appoint the editor after the Annual
Meeting in October. The address for mailing is: Ronald A. Bruns,
Director of Administrative Affairs, ASA Executive Office, 520
N. Northwest Highway, Park Ridge, IL 60068-2573.
Please feel free to contact Roy G. Soto, M.D., chair of the
Resident Component Governing Council, or me for more information
concerning the position.
Good luck to all applicants.

Erratum
In the April ASA NEWSLETTER
("A Survey of Residency Programs' Didactics"), it
was erroneously reported that Fran Thayer, M.D., was a resident
at the University of California-Los Angeles. She is in fact
a resident at the University of Southern California, Los
Angeles, California. Our sincere apologies to Dr. Thayer.

John A. "Jack" Cooley, M.D., is an anesthesiology
resident at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland.
