KK: Are the director of medical education and the CMO still in their roles or did those transition also?
DS: The CMO has transitioned. The head of graduate medical education is still here and, I think, doing an excellent job. The president of the organization is Dave Custodio, who is an emergency physician, and they’ve actually gotten rid of the system CMO role and now at Summa they have basically a chief medical officer of medical services and the CMO of surgical services.
KK: One final question I have for you is how have they embraced your style and swagger at Summa Health—in particular, your extensive collection of pocket squares and matching ties? Whatever you build needs to have your DNA in it, which includes a pocket square.
DS: I think you have one of my pocket squares. When I left the ACEP Board, I gave you one of my pocket squares.
KK: You did, and for a period of about three to four months, I had custody of one of your favorites that showed up in multiple cities and in multiple people’s pockets. Dave, you are known for your academic excellence, outstanding leadership, and, of course, your commitment to the pocket square/tie combination. Long live the pocket square! I wish you all the best. Good luck with your new roles.
