Three El Paso physicians have been selected to renew terms of service in Texas Medical Association (TMA)-affiliated leadership positions.
TMA’s House of Delegates policymaking body met virtually on Saturday and announced this year’s TMA elections and appointments. TMA elected area physicians to represent Texas doctors in the American Medical Association (AMA) House of Delegates, the national organization’s policymaking body, and selected members of TMA’s Board of Councilors ethical policymaking body.
All the physicians are members of the El Paso County Medical Society.
Gilberto A. Handal, MD, infectious diseases specialist in practice for 51 years; reconfirmed as the District 1 councilor to the TMA Board of Councilors.
