Wade Douglas, M.D., a PIMS alumnus and director of the College of Medicine’s general surgery residency program at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, has been appointed to the Association of Program Directors in Surgery (APDS).

APDS was founded in 1977 to provide a forum for wide-ranging discussions and exchange of information regarding post-graduate surgical education. It works to maintain high standards of surgical residency training and has been at the forefront of developing and disseminating standards and practices among surgical programs.

"Dr. Douglas continues to advocate for and contribute to the excellent education of surgeons throughout the country,” said College of Medicine Interim Dean Alma Littles.
