CMA veteran Corcoran named group’s CEO
The California Medical Association went in-house to pick its next chief executive officer, promoting a 12-year veteran of the organization, Dustin Corcoran, the CMA announced.
Corcoran replaces Alfred Gilchrist, who spent two months in the job before recently announcing his departure. Gilchrist said he would return to Colorado and resume his position as CEO of the Colorado Medical Society.
Corcoran joined the CMA in 1998 as membership coordinator for its political action committee. He later worked as a lobbyist on such issues as emergency medicine, tobacco use and overhauling health care.
The medical association represents more than 35,000 physicians.
