CANDIDATE STATEMENT: Caring for patients and striving for excellence - these are the core of an internist's daily work and I believe the Oregon ACP can be an effective force to promote these aspirations. Internists seek an environment that fosters excellence, not one that gets in the way - one that makes the clinician's life easier, not harder. This requires a strong voice on behalf of internists along with the structures that position us to lead by promote meaningful performance improvement in our daily activities. Healthcare reform and health policy changes will continue to impact all internists and the Oregon ACP should be a strong guiding voice in that dialog, locally and nationally. My background as a former Vice-President of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, President of a private medical group for 10 years, and now Chief Medical Officer at OHSU provide lessons and skills that can help Oregon's internists excel together.

AREAS OF PROFESSIONAL INTEREST AND EXPERTISE: Health Policy with specific interest in access to care, improving community health, care of the poor and vulnerable, funding med ed and GME, and supporting practicing physicians. Improving Physician Wellness both through formal and informal programs and efforts. Practical use of, interoperability of and easing the front line burden of electronic health records.
CANDIDATE STATEMENT: As a primary care internist for 28 years, I see the growing need for internal medicine specialists inside and outside hospital walls to care for our aging patients and to advocate for our community. I believe internists, as physician-citizens, have powerful voices for shaping health policy that ensures access, fosters healthy communities and supports practicing physicians so we can recruit and retain internists for Oregon. To do this, our Chapter needs to extend ACP's advocacy to the Oregon Legislature, so our expertise is heard. In this changing world we must also work to adapt our organizations, clinical practices, education, and communication to engage the digital natives in the next generation of internists, as well as to support currently practicing internists as we adapt to the new landscape. My experience with medical organizations, advocacy, and front-line practice position me well to lead these changes.
