Board of Directors

The Student Doctor Network is published by the Coastal Research Group, a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization dedicated to knowledge diffusion and research in community and family medicine.  We are governed by a nine-member Executive Board, one-third of which is elected at the annual membership meeting for three year terms.

The Executive Board elects from its membership the Executive Chair, Secretary and Treasurer, who constitute the Executive Committee of CRG.

At the conclusion of two consecutive complete three year terms, an incumbent board member may not run again for the same board position and achieves emeritus status.
