Philosophy of Care

My philosophy in practicing medicine is embodied by the Medical Professionalism in the New Millennium: A Physician Charter adopted by the American Board of Internal Medicine which emphasizes fundamental principles and professional commitments

PROFESSIONAL HISTORY

Dr. Sectish practiced as a general pediatrician in Salinas, California from 1980 to 1993. He was the Program Director at Stanford from 1993 to 2007. He was Executive Director of the Federation of Pediatric Organizations from 2007 to 2014. As the Past-President of the Association of Pediatric Program Directors (APPD), Dr. Sectish was involved in national GME issues, including the formation of the Council of Pediatric Subspecialties that serves as a home for pediatric subspecialists and fellowship directors. He was a member of the Residency Review and Redesign Committee (R3P) and the Program Directors Committee of the American Board of Pediatrics. He is a member of the American Pediatric Society. His interest in educational innovation and improvement spans the continuum from undergraduate medical education to graduate medical education (GME) and the continuous professional development of practicing physicians.
