Connecticut psychiatrist Alfred Herzog, M.D., has won election to the top post in the APA Assembly. Herzog outpolled Area 7 representative Albert Vogel, M.D., of New Mexico by a wide margin in the race to be the next speaker-elect. The election was held during the group's three-day meeting in Toronto, just prior to the opening of the APA's 1998 annual meeting.
Herzog, who just completed a term as the Assembly recorder, is in private practice in Hartford and is vice president for medical affairs at Hartford Hospital.
In the contest to replace Herzog as the Assembly recorder, R. Michael Pearce, M.D., of Indianapolis bested Peter Gruenberg, M.D., of the Southern California Psychiatric Society.
Pearce is a child and adolescent psychiatrist in private practice and an associate clinical professor at Indiana University School of Medicine.
At the close of the Assembly's meeting on May 31, outgoing Assembly speaker Jeremy Lazarus, M.D., handed over the speaker's gavel to Donna Norris, M.D., who began a one-year term in that post.
