As the head of the 12 members of the board from across America, Akinboboye work description would include:

Carry out periodic knowledge assessments of all practising cardiologists in the US.
Commenting on his new appointment, Olakunle Akinboboye expressed he is proud to have the chance to take up such responsible, adding that his position didn’t come without its challenges.

“Unfortunately I am taking over the mantle of leadership at a point in time in which many cardiologists are openly revolting because of what they perceive as high handedness of the board over the years.”

Speaking of his goal, Akinboboye said he is “to work with other board members to come up with assessments for practising cardiologists that are fair, and not unduly burdensome”.

President and CEO of ABIM, Richard Baron, officially welcomed the new chairman on behalf of the board in a press release.

He said:

“We are honored to have Dr. Berns, Dr. Akinboboye and Dr. Udden—three highly regarded physicians with significant clinical experience to serve the community in their disciplines and across specialities to offer more choice, relevance and convenience as they help to set the standards for excellent patient care.”
