Regina Benjamin Tapped for Surgeon General Role
Monday July 13, 2009
Regina Benjamin, a family physician from Alabama, has been selected by the Obama Administration to serve as the nation's Surgeon General, according to multiple reports from USA Today and Modern Physician.More on this topic:
USA Today reports that Dr. Benjamin "was the first black woman to head a state medical society, [and] received the Nelson Mandela Award for Health and Human Rights . . ."
What do you think of Obama's choice for Surgeon General? Do you agree with his pick?
I think the SG position is only slightly less ceremonial in nature than being a Beefeater at Buckingham Palace.
