I have to say that I am very worried about this organization. After the initial e-mails a year or so ago promising better communication and transparency, I heard nothing until I got another e-mail from another party concerned about the well-being and professionalism of AAPS. I haven't talked at all to Dr. Castillo in several years, but I knew him personally since we used to work at the same hospital - and he was a very strong advocate of AAPS at the time. Learning that there is litigation involving him and that he was let go from AAPS also gives me serious pause. Why should I continue to contribute substantial money and get reboarded in BCEM with an organization in disarray. (I've been boarded since 1994) I've also been very unimpressed with the few meetings I attended. For example, I volunteered to chair an ethics committee and absolutely no one showed up. The meeting seemed more like a coffee clutch of very few docs and executives.
