Goodman is originally from New Jersey, and earned his bachelor’s master’s and doctorate in public affaris at New York University. He worked with the American Medical Association and at Michael Reese Medical Center in Chicago before joining the TMA staff in 1987.

“Dr. Goodman made sure TMA had the organization, leadership, and political strength to win critical medical liability reforms in 2003,” said Diana Fite, MD, a Houston emergency medicine physician and chair of the TMA Board of Trustees via release. “Nothing in a generation has had more positive impact on Texas physicians and the patients we care for.”

Goodman served at president of the American Association of Medical Society Executives and chair of the Texas Society of Association Executives and is an adjunct professor of public health at  The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.

“This is the physicians’ organization,” said Dr. Goodman via release. “They have the vision. It’s our job to bring it to life.”
