Drs. Morrison and Ness were specifically nominated by the Ohio Society of OMS in recognition of their efforts to protect the specialty’s ability to deliver anesthesia during the revision of the state’s regulations.
The AAOMS Challenge Coin is awarded to those elite few who transcend the efforts of their colleagues to further the specialty through advocacy. Recipients receiving this honor designate significant portions of their time and effort to ensure our specialty thrives by personally advocating at the local, state and federal levels for our profession and patients. Such tasks include testifying before legislative bodies on our practice model and traveling the country to defend our anesthesia model. A full explanation of history of challenge coins and current recipients are available at AAOMS.org/Challenge.
Congratulations!
