Letter From the Executive Director Dr John Cho

Letter From the Executive Director Dr John Cho It was great to see so many of you during the 2022 AMSUS Virtual Annual Meeting, 22–25 February. The Annual Meeting was supposed to be AMSUS’s first asynchronous hybrid event in 131 years, with an in-person component February 7–11, 2022, followed by a virtual component 2 weeks later. However, 3 weeks before the in-person portion of the 2022 Hybrid AMSUS Annual Meeting, a spike in COVID Omicron variant necessitated a pivot to an all-virtual meeting. With the support of all AMSUS partners, content was created to support virtual delivery of previously scheduled in-person sessions. Given the short timeline, this was an impressive undertaking by federal health care leaders, panel moderators, and presenters from the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, and Veterans Affairs. Equally impressive was the agility demonstrated by the AMSUS staff in communicating and then coordinating the pivot to virtual while simultaneously expanding the communications platform to accommodate a 200% increase in virtual presenters. For this edition of the “Letter From the Executive Director,” I would like to identify and thank those who made the 2022 AMSUS Annual Meeting a tremendous success while highlighting an important lesson learned—one which has changed our thinking around future AMSUS-held events, including the in-person 2023 AMSUS Annual Meeting. The theme for the 2022 Annual Meeting was “Healthcare Transformation Starts with Medical Education and Training,” with Rear Admiral (ret) Dr Bill Roberts, Acting President of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS), serving as the AMSUS Executive Advisory Council (EAC) Honorary President and 2022 Annual Meeting Co-Chair. Thank you, Dr Roberts for stepping forward to co-lead the 2022 Meeting with me. In addition to Dr Roberts, I would like to thank all the members of the AMSUS EAC for your leadership, demonstrated agility, support, and panel and plenary contributions to this Annual Meeting. Thank you: Rear Admiral (ret) Dr David J. Smith, Performing the Duties of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs; Dr Steven Lieberman, Performing the Duties of the Under Secretary for Health, Veterans Health Administration (VHA); Lieutenant General Ronald Place, Director, Defense Health Agency; Lieutenant General R. Scott Dingle, Army Surgeon General; Lieutenant General Robert Miller, Air Force Surgeon General and Space Force Surgeon General; Rear Admiral Bruce L. Gillingham, Navy Surgeon General; Major General Paul Friedrichs, Joint Staff Surgeon; Vice Admiral Vivek H. Murthy, the 19th and 21st United States Surgeon General; and Dr Pritesh Gandhi, Chief Medical Officer, Department of Homeland Security (DHS). AMSUS EAC members are our nation’s top federal health care leaders. Thank you again EAC members for your leadership and support! In addition, thank you to Major General Jonathan Woodson, Commanding General of the US Army Reserve Medical Command, for opening the 2022 AMSUS Annual Meeting as our keynote speaker. His distinguished career has included serving as the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs under President Obama. Dr Woodson also partnered with our corporate thought leaders, the Executive Advisory Board (EAB), in his capacity as a private citizen, to deliver “Fireside Chat: Payors, Providers, and Technology Improving Patient Lives.” We also were blessed to hear from Admiral Rachel Levine, the 17th Assistant Secretary of Health for the US Department of Health and Human Services. Nominated by President Biden, Admiral Levine fights every day to improve the health and well-being of all Americans. She also is the head of the US Public Health Service. Her extensive medical career and leadership roles in pediatrics, the opioid crisis, maternal health, and immunizations has saved thousands of lives. We were fortunate to have her on-hand to share the health priorities she champions. Also, EAC member Dr Pritesh Gandhi honored us as the first DHS Chief Medical Officer to speak at an AMSUS Annual Meeting. Appointed by President Biden, Dr Gandhi is the principal advisor to the Secretary of the US Department of Homeland Security, Assistant Secretary for the Countering of Weapons of Mass Destruction, the FEMA Administrator, and DHS senior leadership on medical and public health issues related to natural disasters, border health, pandemic response, acts of terrorism, and other man-made disasters. And finally, a special thank you to the 720 subject matter experts who shared their expertise as presenters for plenary panels, breakout sessions, and poster presentations. Your insights allowed AMSUS to offer 65 CE/CME credit hours across seven health care disciplines. Thank you to all our speakers and presenters! As AMSUS serves as the voice for federal health professionals, it was an honor to recognize 15 of our best! 2022 AMSUS Premier Award recipients include: Lifetime Achievement, Dr Norman N. Rich, MD (USUHS); Rising Star, MAJ Jason Bingham, MD (USA); and Innovator, Dr Ryan Vega, MD (VHA). The AMSUS 2021/2022 Award Winners include: Andrew Craige Allied Health Professional Award, Maj Stephen Anthony Smith, DSc, PA‐C (USAF); Communication Award, Dr Chad Kessler, MD, MBA, MHPE, FACEP, FACHE (VHA); Dentist Award, Maj Ryan R. Sheridan, DMD (USAF); Lewis L. Seaman Enlisted Award for Outstanding Operational Support, HMC (FMF) Bradley Leach (USN)—Senior Enlisted and TSgt Prapaporn Wangsuttisomsri (USAF)—Junior Enlisted; Management and Administration Award, Suzanne Shirley, LCSW (VHA); Nursing Award, LaDonna Thomas, DNP, ANP-C, VHA-CM (VHA); Operational Medicine Award, Maj William T.

Young, BSN (USAF); and the William Gorgas Preventive Medicine Award, COL Paul Faestel, MD, MPH, FACP (USA). Congratulations to our award winners. Thank you for leading the way! This meeting also is made possible in large part due to the generous support of our Executive Advisory Board (EAB) members and sponsors. Without their support, AMSUS would not be able to provide affordable, high-quality, continuing education for federal health professionals, our international delegates, and our industry partners. Our EAB is comprised of industry leaders who partner together to provide a think tank for the federal health sector and a platform for federal-civilian networking and communications. Their participation in, and support of, AMSUS—especially in providing leadership through education—is invaluable. Thank you: Bristol Myers Squibb—Veterans Community Network, Cerner, DLH Corporation, Emergent Biosolutions, Express Scripts, Health Net Federal Services, Humana Military, Intuitive, and Philips. Not only have our EAB members supported AMSUS’s mission, many also contributed valuable presentations featuring their subject matter experts during the Annual Meeting. Thank you EAB members! In addition, AMSUS is blessed to have industry partners who believe in our collective mission. 2022 AMSUS Annual Meeting sponsors include: ASM Research, Kaiser Permanente, Biogen, Biohaven Pharmaceuticals, Foundation Medicine, IT Cadre and TriWest. These sponsors committed to supporting the 2022 AMSUS Annual Meeting when it was in person. I wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation that these sponsors continued to provide their support after we pivoted to a 100% virtual meeting. Thank you, Annual Meeting sponsors! Under the governance oversight of Major General (ret) (Dr) Phil Volpe, Chairman of the AMSUS Board of Directors (BoD), AMSUS has made membership affordable for federal health professionals at all stages of their careers. Each member of the 10-member Board of Directors dedicates valuable time and talent to ensure that AMSUS delivers to all its members, and I would like to recognize BoD members by name, particularly because of their commitment to AMSUS and federal health. In addition to AMSUS Board Chairman Army Major General (ret) (Dr) Phil Volpe, Air Force Colonel (ret) Al Middleton serves as the AMSUS Board Vice Chair. Other distinguished BoD members include Navy Captain (ret)Kathryn M. Beasley; Air Force Colonel (ret) Phil Samples; Army Brigadier General (ret) (Dr) Don Bradshaw; Army Brigadier General (ret) Rich Ursone; Mr. Ken Wong, Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army, Pennsylvania, West; Army Command Sergeant Major (ret) (Dr) Althea Green; Air Force Lieutenant General (ret) (Dr) Mark Ediger; and Navy Rear Admiral (ret) Mike Mittleman. Thank you AMSUS BoD members for your leadership! Military Medicine, the peer-reviewed International Journal of AMSUS, shares federal health research and knowledge and provides publishing opportunities to the federal health care professionals we serve. A special thank you to the continuing leadership of our distinguished editorial board led by: Editor in Chief Dr Steven Rothwell; Emeritus Editor USPHS Captain (ret) (Dr) Bill Haffner; Editors: Navy Captain (ret) (Dr) Chip Rice; Past President of USU and Air Force Colonel (ret) Laura Talbot; and Associate Editors: Army Colonel (Dr) Ramey Wilson; Dr G. Richard Holt; Army Colonel (ret) (Dr) Tony LaPorta; and USPHS Captain (ret) Melvin Lessing. Thank you, Military Medicine Editorial Board! When comparing the 2020 and 2022 Virtual Annual Meetings, the initial impression would suggest that the 2020 meeting was more successful. The 2020 meeting included over 520 presenters and 1,600 attendees, which included 88 international partners from 23 countries. Although the 2022 meeting had 720 presenters, it had 500 fewer attendees and only 41 international partners. Why the difference? For one, there was more time to prepare for and promote the 2020 Virtual Annual Meeting than the 2022 Virtual Annual Meeting. A deliberate decision was made five months before the 2020 Annual Meeting to pivot to a 100% virtual meeting; in February 2022, the spike in COVID Omicron in the National Capital Region necessitated canceling the in-person portion, leaving AMSUS leadership and staff five weeks to make the adjustments needed to successfully deliver a 2022 Virtual Annual Meeting. I credit the AMSUS staff who masterfully coordinated the expansion of the 2022 Annual Meeting communications platform to accommodate a 200% increase in virtual presenters and 10-fold increase in virtual “live presentations and question and answer (Q&A) sessions.” A special thank you to our AMSUS Staff: Susan Bachenheimer, Membership Director, Kathleen Kelley, Director of Meetings, Lori Lawrence, Director of Continuing Education programs, Stacie McArdle, Director of Development, and Martha Silver, Director of Marketing and Communications. In addition to helping Annual Meeting speakers edit content to support the virtual delivery of previously scheduled in-person sessions, the AMSUS staff worked closely with event partners to ensure the virtual meeting was delivered incident free. As in 2020, there were no technical shortcomings, delays, or loss of service. Sessions began and ended per the event schedule and the transitions from live and pre-recorded presentations to their respective live postpresentation Q&A sessions were seamless. Thank you, Team AMSUS! The March-April 2021 Letter From the Executive Director described AMSUS’s digital transformation journey, highlighting our organizational agility to transform with speed. Given the short timeline, successfully pulling off the 2022 Annual Meeting was another example demonstrating AMSUS’s organizational agility, made possible by the agile mindset of AMSUS leadership and staff. No question, it took hard work, effort, and collective AMSUS team resilience to pivot from a hybrid meeting to an all-virtual meeting in 5 weeks. Ideally, particularly during this unpredictable era of COVID, we would like to avoid “unexpected” opportunities to have to demonstrate our agility, especially when delivering events. For that reason, going forward, a “hybrid strategy” will supplant “hybrid delivery” for AMSUS-sponsored events. According to Gartner, “a hybrid strategy includes an event plan with events that are delivered in-person and separate events that are delivered virtually,” whereas “hybrid delivery incorporates both in-person and virtual components into a single event experience.” Our intent to deliver the 2022 AMSUS Hybrid Annual Meeting as a “hybrid delivery” event was overcome by the surge in COVID Omicron. To create time for AMSUS leadership and staff, key stakeholders, and AMSUS Annual Meeting presenters and attendees to adjust adequately and deliberately, particularly during this pandemic era of unpredictability, each future AMSUS event will either be in person or virtual but not both. We recognize the desire to meet in person for the 2023 AMSUS Annual Meeting and will make every effort to do so. We look forward to seeing you in person at the 2023 AMSUS Annual Meeting! © The Association of Military Surgeons of the United States 2022. All rights reserved.
