In 1996, I was asked to assume a role in the development of the mode of practice forums and became the founding chair of the SSGPF. I served the more than 10,000 initial members of that forum as its chair, president, and finally, CMA trustee for six years. Now it is time to return to the Delegation I cut my teeth on in 1986, in San Francisco. I have gained invaluable experience working with the current leadership of the CMA and, more importantly, have forged close relationships with individuals in every delegation. It would be an honor to be able to continue my career with the CMA helping to advance the marvelous ideas and policies that originate from the San Francisco Medical Society.

I would be pleased to continue serving as a delegate to the CMA and thank you for offering me this opportunity. I have been practicing internal medicine here in San Francisco for close to twenty-eight years and I am amazed at the vast changes in medicine. Going forward with EHR and health reform in general will change the landscape of American medicine. We as physicians must be at the table to control this process as much as we can. At the state level there are always forces trying to impact our practice whether we practice alone or in small, medium, or large groups. Having been a CMA delegate before has given me an awareness of our vulnerability at the state level. Hospital groups and insurers constantly try to chip away at the corporate bar and reimbursements and to straitjacket our practice of medicine. Only through our organized voice can physicians play a role in limiting these regulations. We must remain vigilant for ourselves and for future physicians. I hope to continue to represent these concerns. Thank you for your vote.
