The ARHP adds value to the ARC, and each component of the College, whether ARHP, pediatrics, basic science, or clinicians, is able to stand on its own capable feet. The organization as a whole is carving away at the isolation of the specialist, and we anticipate the interface between ARHP, ACR, and other organizations to become even more important.
The writer Miriam Beard said: “Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” My 20-year-old ARHP roadmap is very worn and wrinkled but the trip has given me a wealth of knowledge. The advice I’ve received (and have given out) has taken me into many side adventures. I look forward to my next two decades in ACR, with anticipation of continued roadside assistance.
Dr. Hannan is associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston and past president of ARHP.
