Leadership

Meet your national and local APSA leadership!

The American Physician Scientists Association is led by the Executive Election which is made of elected officers with oversight and guidance from the Board of Directors.  In addition to the Board of Directors and Executive Council, there are four standing committees who lead most of APSA's projects.  Institutional Representatives serve as liaisons between APSA and their respective institutions.

Board of Directors:

The Board of Directors serves as an advisory and oversight board to the American Physician Scientists Association and the Executive Council. The board is made of physician-scientist stakeholders and leaders and of former/current members of the APSA Executive Council. Together this group of individuals not only maintain and guide the long term vision of the organization but they also retain the institutional memory for the organization.

Executive Council:

The Executive Council is made up of twelve positions elected by the Institutional Representatives during the APSA Annual Meeting in April of each year. These positions are the only members of the Executive Council with voting privileges. The committee vice-chairs are included as non-voting members of the Executive Council and are appointed to their positions by the Executive Council. The vice-chairs may in the absence of the committee chair serve as the proxy vote.

Standing Committees:

APSA is led by five standing committees whose chairs are elected and are members of the executive council. Members of the standing committees consist of current medical and MD-PhD students.
