SCOTT P. STRINGER, MD, MS CANDIDATE FOR SECRETARY-TREASURER What is your particular experience or interest that would make you an effective Secretary-Treasurer of the Academy? I have had the opportunity to serve in leadership roles throughout the Academy, organized medicine, health systems, and academic medicine which give me a broad perspective and background from which to contribute as Secretary-Treasurer of the Academy. My administrative medicine master s degree and my extensive health care leadership experience have prepared me to quickly understand strategic, financial, personnel, and organizational issues that face organizations like ours. Service on a variety of Academy committees and in elected Academy offices gives me an excellent perspective on our organization. As chair of the Rhinology and Paranasal Sinus Committee, I have been intimately involved in the interface between vendors, payers, and our organization. It has allowed me to be closely involved in the development of Academy policy. My service on the Audit Committee, including two terms as chair, allows me to better understand the finances of the Academy. I have had the opportunity to manage the financial affairs of large organizations in my career, which is important to success in the position of Secretary-Treasurer. As chair of an otolaryngology department, I oversee a budget of approximately $17 million. I have also served as Associate Vice Chancellor for Clinical Affairs and president of the board of our 662 member faculty practice plan. In these roles, I was responsible for a health care system with combined revenues of approximately $1 billion.
Leadership opportunities in a number of specialty societies and in organized medicine provide me with a broad understanding of issues facing our membership. As president of both the Association of Academic Departments of Otolaryngology and the Society of University Otolaryngologists-Head and Neck Surgeons, I have developed broad and diverse relationships throughout our specialty that will allow me to better represent our membership. As a long term member of the Council of Faculty and Academic Societies of the Association of American Medical Colleges, I have a broadened understanding of health care issues beyond our specialty, which is important for our success in working with other specialty organizations in support issues of importance to our membership. I have also served as secretary-treasurer and subsequently president of both my county medical society and my state otolaryngology society. I welcome the opportunity to give back to our specialty and to my mentors, colleagues, and trainees by serving and contributing as Secretary-Treasurer. I am thankful that I was fortunate enough to join a specialty that I love and to have so many colleagues that I admire and respect. I have been able to gain leadership experience and skills by serving in a wide variety of roles in organized medicine, academic medicine, and a number of our specialty societies. It is my duty and would be my pleasure to use these experiences to serve my specialty and my colleagues. I believe that I can make a positive difference on behalf of our specialty and the patients that we serve.
