While ABEM’s board of directors is currently in search of its third chief executive, Dr. Reinhart will be a difficult person to follow.
“Someone once said to me, ‘When you see something that’s done really well in a well-managed, highly professional organization like ABEM, it doesn’t happen by accident,’ ” Mr. Wilkerson said. “I think that’s definitely true here, and Mary Ann deserves a lot of credit for maintaining incredibly high standards for ABEM and everything they do.
“If you look at their publications, their Web site, their staff and their oral exams, everything is done exceptionally well, in my opinion, and that’s a credit to her,” he added. “Whoever comes behind her has some big shoes to fill.”
