The CMA's new president spends most of his professional time in the operating room treating cardiac patients, but Dr. Hugh Scully (shown here at trackside) has also played a key role in making auto racing safer around the world. Scully, the first surgeon to head the CMA in 13 years, will assume the presidency later this month during the CMA's 132nd annual meeting (see page 303).
