Kennedy was nominated and subsequently approved for the position at the board’s most recent meeting in Washington, D.C., in April.

According to Annals Editor-in-Chief Keith D. Lillemoe, M.D., Kennedy was selected for this role based on his particular area of expertise within the field of surgical research. As a member of the editorial board, Kennedy will be expected to review approximately one to two manuscripts for the journal each month.
