ASH member John P. Leonard, MD, was named to the hematology subspecialty board of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). ABIM’s Subspecialty Boards are composed of experts in both academic medicine and practice, all of whom must be ABIM-certified in their particular subspecialty. Members of these boards apply their individual and collective knowledge toward the development of the policies, standards, and requirements for Certification and Maintenance of Certification in their subspecialty, with special focus on developing the cognitive exam that physicians must take to certify or maintain their certification in that field. Dr. Leonard is the Richard T. Silver Distinguished Professor of Hematology and Medical Oncology at Weill Cornell Medical College, New York Presbyterian Hospital.
