Lindsay Ragsdale, MD FAAHPM, Chair

AAHPM membership currently totals 5,489, with an 83% retention rate. AAHPM membership comprises 72% physicians; 10% affiliates (nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, chaplains, social workers); 16% fellows, residents, and students; and 1% international members.

Our online discussion platform, AAHPM Connect, has witnessed lively and insightful conversations this past quarter. Members have engaged in vibrant discussions about various topics, such as approaches to perineal pain and the advantages and disadvantages of in-person fellowship interviews. Colleagues have actively collaborated, and we are thrilled to report that over 252 different members have contributed to the discussions on Connect. Between April and June, the community generated a remarkable total of 560 posts. Notably, Dr. Patricia Fogelman, DNP, has emerged as the most active user last quarter, contributing over 20 posts. Following closely behind is Dr. Emily Cotter, MD MPH, who has made 14 valuable contributions.
