BRIEF SUMMARY OF ANNUAL CAPM MEETING IN SACRAMENTO, 12/10/18
All participating in the December 10 meeting of CAPM in Sacramento agreed that it was an excellent event. It was held at the office of the Health Officers Association of California, thanks to courtesy hosting through Kat DeBurgh, Executive Director, and was chaired by President Rob Oldham. A delicious catered dinner by Chrysalis Catering was served. Other members (especially from Southern California) phoned in, and the conference calling had good reception. This was an opportunity to enhance networking among our members and to promote a community of Preventive Medicine physicians.
Julie Vaishampayan, Stanislaus County Health Officer, was elected as President-Elect for 2019 and will become President in 2020. Aimee Sisson, the CDPH PrevMed residency director, was elected to a 3-year term as a director on the Board. I was re-elected to serve as Secretary-Treasurer for another year.
Susan Bradshaw, our current President-Elect, will be President in 2019. Continuing directors are Mark Horton and Sumedh Mankar. Rob Oldham, our 2018 President, will become immediate Past-President. These continuing positions were automatic and did not require votes.
Rob Oldham shared recent accomplishments and Susan Bradshaw shared her vision for the coming year. Reports were presented by Don Lyman and approved on the legislative work of CAPM on multiple bills related to prevention and public health, and on CMA resolutions dealing with the same. Mark Horton related the work of the Medical Leadership Forum for Prevention and Public Health (sponsored by CAPM), which among other things tackled the major public health problems of obesity, violence, and wildfires. Ideas for future projects were discussed.
