Heading: The defendants' expert affidavit was sufficient under the governing statute to support summary judgment.

Text: Kaiser argues that Dr. Roth's expert affidavit is insufficient to support summary judgment under AS 09.20.185. Because he raises this challenge for the first time before this court, it is waived. [21] Moreover, it appears that Dr. Roth's affidavit does assert facts sufficient to qualify him as an expert under AS 09.20.185. According to Kaiser, the affidavit does not reflect whether Dr. Roth has the training or certification required by AS 09.20.185(a)(2) and (3). [22] However, Dr. Roth's affidavit specifically lists his training and certification: 1. I am a physician licensed to practice medicine in the State of California.... I have been board certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation since 1986. 2. I have been practicing physical medicine and rehabilitation since 1985. In addition to practicing, I also served as a clinical instructor.
