Nominating Committee Announcement:

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Bernard Park has been chosen to become KAMA 2010 President.

Message from the President

Dear KAMA Members:

It is my great honor and privilege to serve you as President of KAMA in 2009. I am particularly excited to take on this role because it is an opportunity for me to give back to the Korean community, which has
supported my career and life tremendously with a great heritage. I feel it is important that all Korean-American physicians have the benefit of this network.

I will certainly do my best to spend the time, effort and financial resources to guide KAMA in the right direction. I would like to continuously strengthen our membership through regional activities and chapters (New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Houston and California) throughout the country. I hope to appoint Vice Presidents from each of these regions to help facilitate and foster our network so that we can help each other in vital areas such as patient referral, education, research and community service.

In addition, we will continue to provide scholarships to our second generation medical students who represent the future of our community. I will also make ir a priority to continue building our relationship with our counterparts in Korea, KMA, and hopefully with North Korea as well.

Accomplishing these goals is no easy task, and I call upon all of you to continue supporting KAMA through payment of membership and participation of KAMA meetings and also your generous donations. I know it is a challenging economic climate we face, so I truly appreciate your support.

I hope that many of you have a chance to visit Houston during our next annual convention. We will have excellent scientific and social programs for our members and also families.

Lastly, I want to thank our former President, Dr. Daniel Kim and all executive members for their hard work and for this great honor as well as responsibility passed on to me. I firmly believe we can make a real impact now and for future generations of Korean-American physicians if we work together.

Sincerely yours,

Euishin Edmund Kim, MD
