CANDIDATE STATEMENTS | NOMINATING COMMITTEE: PRIVATE PRACTICE | VOTE FOR TWO PER PRACTICE TYPE OF FOUR Daniel L. Wohl, MD
We are in a transformational time in medicine where the need to promote the strengths of our subspecialty through the ongoing development of educational tools while still promoting a balanced political advocacy profile has become an increasingly challenging process.
What do you see as the priorities of the Nominating Committee in selecting the future leaders of our Academy?
What experience do you have that will aid in selecting leaders that will advance the mission of the Academy?
We are in a transformational time in medicine where the need to promote the strengths of our subspecialty through the ongoing development of educational tools while still promoting a balanced political advocacy profile has become an increasingly challenging process. The Nominating Committee has the important responsibility to identify leaders with both the critical thinking skills and clear vision to help guide us through this uncertain time. I believe our Academy continues to evolve and understands the benefits from balanced leadership positions reflecting our membership diversity. In over 20 years of practice, the first half in academic medicine and the current half in private practice, I have learned much about the diverse needs of our Academy membership. My long term Academy committee and Board of Governors responsibilities have afforded me the opportunity to maintain access to a diverse, highly skilled and committed tier of our otolaryngology colleagues. There is clinical scholarship throughout our subspecialty and our Nominating Committee benefits all of us by selecting Academy leadership candidates who recognize that our collective goals are strengthened by encouraging and incorporating the views of our entire membership.
