Four TMA member physicians are among Gov. Rick Perry's seven appointments to the Texas Medical Board. Two of the physician members are new; the other two were reappointed. All are subject to Senate confirmation, and their terms expire in April 2015.
The new physician members are Patrick J. Crocker, DO, chief of emergency medicine at Dell Children's Hospital in Austin, and Dallas orthopedic surgeon Wynne M. Snoots, MD, medical director of the Baylor Sammons Bone Tumor Center at Baylor University Medical Center. Brownsville obstetrician-gynecologist Manuel G. Guajardo, MD, and Dallas pulmonary and critical care specialist Allan N. Shulkin, MD, were named to new terms on the board.
Dr. Crocker replaces cardiac electrophysiologist Larry Price, DO, of Belton, the board's vice chair. Dr. Snoots replaces Amanullah Khan, MD, of Dallas, an oncologist. Dr. Price's and Dr. Khan's terms had expired.
