My goals on the board of directors is to work to build membership. I want to continue to improve our annual conference. I would like to be more involved with the residency visits. We need to build value in our college, we could do this by giving members something of value. This could be some sort of educational product. Partnering with Texas clinicians who have a known product may be the key. We also need to encourage more physicians to advocate for the future of medicine. I feel one of the biggest issues in the future will be reimbursement from insurance companies. There have already been pay cuts across the board to emergency physicians due to lower reimbursements to physicians. We need to continue to fight for tort reform as well as fair payment. 4.
