2007 has proven to be a very successful year for the ARS. The highest attendance level in several years at our Annual Meeting in Washington DC (309) was accompanied by an increase in membership of nearly 10% to over 1100. We have been particularly encouraged by the significant growth occurring in the resident and fellow section, with a 33% increase in this category alone. While undoubtedly reflecting the high level of interest in the specialty among practitioners in general, these younger members bring new enthusiasm and excitement to the society. We hope to harness some of this in the newly minted Residents and Fellows Ad Hoc Committee under the leadership of Seth Brown, debuting with a packed reception in Washington DC. Look for more resident and fellow events in the coming years at our Annual and Spring meetings.
A significant focus this last year has been on achieving reaccredidation from the ACCME. We are pleased to announce that the society received a statement of full accredidation through November 2011without any deficiencies noted. Thanks to Drs. Marvin Fried, Jim Stankiewicz, Jim Palmer, and our Administrator, Wendi Perez for all their hard work.
