Clinical Specialty Council members will serve a term of three years with the eligibility to be reappointed for an additional three-year term.
Clinical Specialty Council representatives will serve on SIR division committees to ensure collaboration and disease state expertise. Clinical Specialty Council division representatives will enhance the work product of the other SIR divisions by serving as their primary resource for up-to-date, disease-specific knowledge, expertise and perspective. Tasks may range from providing critical guidance to the other divisions upon request to taking primary responsibility for projects and programs. Representatives shall be appointed in collaboration with SIR division councilors. Clinical Specialty Council representatives will serve in dual roles within the councils and the division structure. Representatives' terms on the Clinical Specialty Council will correspond with the term within the division structure.
