Medical board has new leaders
NEWS IN BRIEF — Posted March 27, 2006
Robert P. Goldfarb, MD, was named chair of the Arizona Medical Board when the 12-member, governor-appointed board elected its 2006 officers at its meeting last month.
Dr. Goldfarb, who specializes in neurological surgery and practices in the Tucson area, succeeds Timothy B. Hunter, MD, who did not seek re-election. Phoenix orthopedic surgeon William R. Martin III, MD, was elected vice chair. Flagstaff anesthesiologist Douglas D. Lee, MD, will continue as board secretary.
Officers will serve at least until the February 2007 board meeting, when elections are held again. Board members can serve up to two five-year terms.
