Internal medicine physician Jason Goldman has been installed as the Florida Medical Association’s (FMA) 147th President.
FMA, which represents Florida doctors, said the Coral Gables-based physician ascended to the top spot during the FMA Annual Meeting in Orlando last week. Goldman is a solo practice physician with a long record of active leadership and advocacy on behalf of the medical profession, FMA said in a news release.
“Dr. Goldman’s decades of medical experience have allowed him to establish an esteemed reputation as an effective and trusted physician in his local community, across the state, and even at a national level,” said FMA CEO Chris Clark.
“After serving the FMA in various capacities over the years, it is an honor to have him lead the organization, and we look forward to all he will accomplish on behalf of our thousands of members in the year ahead.”
Born and raised in New York, Goldman earned his medical degree from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and completed residency training in internal medicine at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami.
In addition to delivering patient care in private practice for more than 20 years, Goldman is an affiliate assistant professor of clinical biomedical science at the Florida Atlantic University Charles E.
