Dr. Olakunle Akinboboye, a prominent Southeast Queens, cardiologist, with a practice at 234-36 Merrick Blvd, Rosedale, NY 11422, is being given an important leadership position with the The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The brilliant cardiologist of Nigerian heritage, will become the Chair of its cardiovascular disease board.
This is the first time in the 81-year history of the board that a Nigerian has headed the 12 member board in charge of certifying and assessing cardiologists throughout the country. What is ironic about this appointment to Chair of the ABIM, is it comes at a time when the organization is being challenged by resentment with some physicians in the organization who feel it is being controlling and burdensome on members.
