Race Heats Up for New US Surgeon General Candidates
Colleagues,
As reported in MedScape Today ... There is no shortage of interested candidates for the country's top public-health job, say officials. The search for the next US surgeon general is back on after CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta announced late last week that he will no longer be pursuing the role. Among those mentioned in MedScape article are:
Acting Surgeon General Dr. Steven Galson.
Gail Rosseau, MD, from the Chicago Institute of Neurosurgery and Neuroresearch, in Illinois, was on a short list for the job late last year. Dr. Rosseau is director of cranial base surgery and is 1 of 300 female neurosurgeons nationwide. She has declined to comment at this time.
Arthur Kellermann, MD, professor and founding chair of the department of emergency medicine at Emory University, in Atlanta, Georgia.
Irwin Redlener, MD, director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University, was named in the New York Times as another potential candidate.
Also expressing interest in the position is George Lundberg, MD, a former editor at Medscape and a previous editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association. "If done right, this can be the most important public-health job in the world," Dr. Lundberg said.
