MSV Foundation Selects Fourth Class for Leadership Institute

10 July 2009

The MSV Foundation is pleased to announce that the following physicians have been selected from across the Commonwealth of Virginia to participate in the Medical Society of Virginia Foundation’s fourth class (2009-10) of the Claude Moore Physician Leadership Institute. Participation in the program requires MSV membership, nomination by a local or specialty medical society, and good standing in the physician community.

All of the submissions were extremely well-qualified, and the selection committee was forced to make tough choices and considered applicants based on a number of criteria including medical specialty, geography, and the applicant’s desire to apply their Institute learning to impact positively the community, region, and/or state. The Foundation is excited about this new class and look forward to working with them in the coming year.
