Intealth has elected three new members to serve on its Board of Trustees. The new members include two trustees, who will serve four-year terms, and one resident trustee, who will serve a two-year term. The new trustees, whose terms will begin in January 2027, are Rupinder (Rupi) Bhamra, MBA, who joins the Board as a public member; Oyebode (Bode) A. Taiwo, MD, MPH; and Resident Trustee David K.A. Donkor, MD. Their selection follows an open call for applications that concluded in July.
“As Intealth looks ahead to its next chapter, the Board’s work has never been more important,” said Craig Brater, MD, Chair of the Intealth Board of Trustees. “Mr. Bhamra, Dr. Taiwo, and Dr. Donkor bring perspectives that span technology and data governance, global health and physician training, and the lived experience of international medical graduates. Their insight will help guide Intealth as it builds on its foundation and pursues new opportunities to serve the international medical community.”
This year also marks the conclusion of service for Resident Trustee Ricardo A. Serrano, MD, MBA, MSc, who joined the Board in 2025 and has now completed his residency training. A psychiatrist who practiced in his home country of Chile before pursuing residency in the United States, Dr. Serrano brought firsthand experience of the international medical graduate journey to his Board service.
“Dr. Serrano has been a passionate advocate for residents and international medical graduates, and his perspective as a trainee enriched the Board’s discussions,” said Eric S. Holmboe, MD, President and CEO of Intealth. “We are deeply grateful for his service and look forward to engaging with him in the years ahead.”
