VITO’S PERSONAL STATEMENT
“I am honored to be considered for the Board of Directors with ABFAS. My commitment to leadership in our profession is driven by my desire to be a voice for my peers, maintain the integrity of certification, and negotiate concerns on your behalf. We must continue to advance our profession together as one voice.
As our profession continues to evolve, the board certification process must follow. My goal is not only to improve exam content but also to build communication between the Board and candidates during the application process. I intend to use my vast network of podiatric colleagues to be in tune with the suggestions of those who have or are seeking certification.
The past and current leadership did not sit idly by and allow outside forces deter from achieving their goals of making this organization the standard name in foot and ankle surgery. I believe I can continue to bring that same passion and dedication to our Board, helping to ensure a fair and quality certification process, along with serving to protect the public.”
