Scottsdale,
Ariz. - At
the completion of her term on July 1, 2005, Dr.
Ingrid E. Haas, M.D., has announced she will
step down from the Arizona Medical Board. The
Scottsdale obstetrician/gynecologist has served
on the board since November 2002. Governor
Janet Napolitano who will choose her successor
reappointed her on September 25, 2003.
In
making her decision, Dr. Haas said, “The
experience has been intellectually stimulating,
as well as educational.”
Dr.
Haas is one of eight physicians on the Arizona
Medical Board. By
statute, four others are public members, including
a licensed registered nurse. The board
licenses and regulates more than 17,000 physicians,
of whom some ten thousand practice in our state.
“Dr. Haas has dedicated countless hours to
protect the public health and safety through
a conscientious and thorough review of investigations
brought before the board,” said Timothy
C. Miller, Executive Director of the Arizona
Medical Board. “The board will
miss her wisdom and insight.”
Dr.
Haas graduated from the University of Oregon
Health Services Center and completed her residency
in OB/GYN from Baystate Medical Center. She
is certified in OB/GYN from the American Board
of Obstetrics and Gynecology and is a fellow
of the American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists.
During
her tenure on the Arizona Medical Board, Doctor
Haas was listed among the “Best Doctors
in America 2003-2004” and as one of the “Top
Docs in Phoenix” for three years.
The Arizona Medical Board offices are located at
9545 E. Doubletree Ranch Road in Scottsdale
