Chapel Hill, NC—The American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) has selected four outstanding orthopaedic surgery residents to participate as the sixth cohort of the ABOS Resident Advisory Panel. Many highly qualified orthopaedic residents from across the country applied for two-year terms on the Panel.
The new members of the ABOS Resident Advisory Panel are:
- Patrick England, MD, Northwestern University
- Dillon Graham, MD, Carolinas Medical Center
- Jessica Schmerler, MD, University of California, San Francisco
- Gloria Zhang, MD, New York University
This cohort will join the fifth group of Advisory Panel members who were selected last year:
- Ashlyn Fitch, MD, Boston Medical Center
- Michael Mastroianni, MD, MS, Columbia University Medical Center
- Mehdi Talle, DO, Community Memorial Health System
- Marisa Ulrich, MD, Mayo Clinic
The ABOS Resident Advisory Panel assists the ABOS by providing information which is used to support orthopaedic residents across the country. They work with the ABOS Graduate Medical Education Committee and the ABOS Communications Committee. One of the main goals of the Advisory Panel is to identify and work on a project each year that will benefit orthopaedic residents across the country.
All applicants submitted an application, curriculum vitae (CV), personal statement, and a letter of recommendation from their residency program director. These were reviewed by members of the ABOS Board of Directors who serve on the ABOS GME Committee.
“I’m excited for the Board to engage with this outstanding group of residents over the coming two years,” said ABOS Executive Director David F. Martin, MD. “We sincerely appreciate the departing panel members for their advice and contributions to ABOS over the past two years.”
