Mari Robinson, JD, will become executive director of the Texas Medical Board (TMB) and Alan T. Moore, MD, will become the agency's medical director on March 1. Both have served in interim capacities in recent months.
Ms. Robinson succeeds Donald W. Patrick, MD, JD, who retired in August. She began her career at TMB as a litigation attorney in 2001 and has served as the board's enforcement director. She received her undergraduate degree in government from Angelo State University and her law degree from The University of Texas School of Law.
Dr. Moore was graduated with honors from UT Austin and received his medical degree from The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. He completed his anatomic and clinical pathology residency at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, where he served as chief resident during his fourth year. He also completed a hematopathology fellowship at Parkland. He is board certified in anatomic pathology, clinical pathology, and hematopathology. He has practiced in Austin for more than 20 years. State law requires the agency to hire a medical director if the agency executive is a nonphysician.
"Since TMB's executive director has traditionally been a physician, this dual role is new for Texas and is used by most other state medical boards to bring administrative, legal, and medical expertise into leadership roles. We are very satisfied with the talent and skill both Ms. Robinson and Dr. Moore bring to these positions and look forward to the work they will do to fulfill the board's mission of public protection," said Irvin Zeitler, DO, board president.
