We are pleased to announce the new leadership team for the Medical Corps Career Development Board (CDB) Program. Congratulations to CDR Lizardo, CDR Burgess, and CDR Whitlow on their selections! Their combined expertise will be invaluable in guiding the career development of our Medical Corps officers.
Program Manager:
CDR Eliel Lizardo: CDR Lizardo, a general surgeon currently serving as DSS at NMRTC Sigonella and previously an Assistant Program Manager, brings a wealth of experience to this critical role.
Assistant Program Managers:
CDR Matthew Burgess: A pediatric radiologist at NMRTC San Diego.
CDR Nathan Whitlow: A family physician with 2D Medical Battalion and Assistant Specialty Leader for Family Medicine.
We extend our sincere gratitude to CAPT Diana Fu for her exceptional service as Program Manager these past few years. Her dedication to enhancing mentorship across the Corps has had a profound impact. Thank you, CAPT Fu!
As a reminder, all Medical Officers in the ranks of O-3 to O-5 (excluding interns) are expected to complete at least one CDB per tour. Contact your command’s CDB Coordinator to initiate the process. If you are assigned to an operational command without a CDB coordinator, please reach out to the Program Manager or Assistant Program Managers listed above for guidance.
