NRMP Board of Directors Welcomes Outstanding Cohort of New Members

Talented Slate of Elected Individuals Reflects Comprehensive Constituent Membership

PR Newswire

WASHINGTON, July 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) is pleased to announce the newly elected individuals to its Board of Directors. Since 2006, the 19-member NRMP Board has comprised medical school deans, clinical program directors, physicians in residency and fellowship training, medical students, and one public member.

New terms began July 1, 2021.

"For years, the NRMP Board has sought out and elected individuals who could bring unique experiences and perspectives to the issues facing the organization.  Those elected for July 2021 appointments are no different.  They are highly qualified, and they also represent constituencies of the academic medical community that help the NRMP Board ensure broad representation in order to understand, respond to, and succeed on behalf of all stakeholders," said Immediate Past Chair of the NRMP Board of Directors, Dr. Steven J. Scheinman.

  • Nikhil Goyal, MBBS, Director of Medical Education and Designated Institutional Official at Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital (HFWH) and Assistant Program Director of Emergency Medicine at Henry Ford Hospital/Wayne State University.  Dr. Goyal is highly focused on advancing medical education, serving on the ACGME Transitional Year Review Committee (its Chair through June 30, 2021), and helping to transition AOA-accredited programs in the Henry Ford Health System to ACGME Continued Accreditation as part of the single accreditation system.
  • Tiffany Morton, The Ohio State University MD/MPH student. Ms. Morton recently served as a member of the Student Advisory Council in the College of Public Health at Ohio State and as a co-chair of the Academic Affairs Committee and member of the National Board of Directors for the Student National Medical Association. Ms. Morton remains an active member of the SNMA and is a strong advocate for the needs of medical students and the creation of sustainable, equitable environments that promote diversity in medicine.
