James Pauff, President, American Physician Scientists Association

Like many others, I received an email in the spring of 2006 asking if I would consider serving as the institutional representative (IR) from my institution to the American Physician Scientists Association. I had only recently been elected Vice President of our medical scientist student organization at Ohio State, and was making the move into the graduate training-focused years of my MD/PhD training program. Concurrently, I was involved in the medical-research honor society at Ohio State, a group that focused on highlighting and rewarding research done by medical students. Involvement with a national organization for physician scientist trainees seemed like a great idea at that time, and it was decided that I would be the APSA IR from Ohio State.
