Advisory Council

PARA’s Advisory Council is made up of regional and program-specific representatives who help ensure the voices of resident physicians are heard. The Council provides input to the Board on strategic priorities and represents the diverse experiences of PARA’s membership.

Representation is based on program size:

• Programs with fewer than 30 residents are eligible for one representative
• Programs with 30 or more residents may have up to two representatives
• Additional Member-at-Large positions are included to ensure well-rounded representation. The Council’s composition is reviewed periodically to reflect the evolving needs of the membership.
