At-large and deputy chief memberships
Filled by election to Medical Board
Medical Board election results were completed Sept. 20 pending approval by the board of a fourth member-at-large slot to accommodate a two-way tie among candidates vying for three open slots.
Meanwhile, election of deputy chiefs was also completed and announced on Sept. 20.
The winning candidates in a seven-person field for the three-year at-large slots were:
James Badger - General Surgery
Christopher Sharp - Internal Medicine
Richard Whyte - Thoracic Surgery
Harvey Young - Gastroenterology (incumbent)
The tying candidates were Badger and Whyte, announced Medical Staff President Kent Garman, who said he would ask the Medical Board to approve the fourth at-large position at the group’s October meeting.
Members at-large are elected by and represent the entire medical staff for staggered three-year terms. Continuing at-large members include Myriam Curet, general surgery, and Kelley Skeff, medicine.
Garman also certified the election of three contested deputy chief positions:Neurology - Peter Cassini
Orthopedics - John Lannin
Psychiatry - Diana Adams
Eleven uncontested deputy chief positions announced in August included:
Anesthesia - Richard Novak
CV Surgery - Philip Oyer
Dermatology - Mary [Shannon] Sheu
Medicine - Sue Sorensen
Neurosurgery - Paul Jackson
OB/GYN - John Wachtel
Ophthalmology - Judy Nevitt
Otolaryngology - Winston Vaughan
Radiation Oncology - Sarah Donaldson
Surgery - Michael Trollope
Urology - Jeffrey Reese
Garman noted that one department, Diagnostic Radiology, has no deputy chief because no private community physicians were nominated for the position.
Deputy chiefs are elected for each three-year terms by voting-eligible private service (non full-time faculty) staff members. Generally, only private community members of a given service elect a deputy chief, who is expected to attend regular monthly meetings of the Medical Board. (Faculty service chiefs can appoint a deputy chief in those services with no community Medical Staff members).
In the current election cycle, at-large Medical Board member Sue Sorensen resigned to accept an uncontested slot as deputy chief of medicine.
