Suk, an orthopedic trauma surgeon, was first elected to the AMA board of trustees in 2019.

He was the first medical student and first Asian American elected to the AMA board of trustees.
“As a practicing, fellowship-trained orthopedic trauma surgeon, I’m well aware of the demands the medical profession places on each of us,” Suk said in the release. “I also believe doctors should be able to practice in the manner they choose – with neither insurance companies, EMR systems nor politicians dictating care. We are at a crucial moment in medicine, and I recognize the profound trust my colleagues have placed in me. I look forward to advocating for physicians and our patients as we work to advance the AMA recovery plan for America’s physicians,” Suk added.
