Editorial Board Changes
Drs W. Randolph Chitwood, Jr, Constantine Mavroudis, Carolyn E. Reed, and Lars G. Svensson completed full nine-year terms of service as editorial board members, and Dr Mehmet C. Oz, who completed a six-year term, has elected to leave the board because of other commitments. These wonderful board members have rendered truly outstanding service in expertise, quality of reviews, guidance for authors and responsiveness to the editor and editorial office. Happily, Dr Mavroudis has agreed to become a CME associate editor for pediatric cardiac surgery, but the others will be greatly missed by the entire editorial office and fellow board members.
