Cliff Cutchins V, M.D. is not only a proud CBA trustee and Secretary of the Board, but also a proud CBA alumnus. At the age of seven, after struggling to focus in a traditional school setting, the Cutchins family was referred to CBA. Cliff found success in the classroom when he was met with patient and dedicated teachers who took the time to understand and accommodate his learning needs. After CBA, Cliff went on to earn his bachelor’s degree at the University of Virginia and later graduated with his Doctorate of Medicine from their School of Medicine. After spending time as a Resident Physician in the Department of Anesthesiology at University of Florida College of Medicine and as a Fellow Physician in Adult Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology at Texas Heart Institute, Cliff and his family have recently settled in Virginia Beach where he is now a Staff Anesthesiologist at Atlantic Anesthesia, Inc. out of Norfolk. In addition to his service on the CBA Board of Trustees and our Education and Research Committee, Cliff is an active community member with the Virginia Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad and Operation Smile. “CBA has emerged as a beacon in the community, proving that you do not have to be ashamed of a learning difference and you can make it work in your life.I live with ADHD every day and I’ve learned to use it to my advantage. For that, I will be forever grateful.” – Dr. Cutchins
