The ACP Iowa Chapter has a Facebook page!
- The goals of our Facebook page are to increase our presence amongst our young physicians, associate and student members. It will be a great way to communicate our upcoming events and we will post pictures also. You can communicate with us and let us know your thoughts-hopefully once we have a larger following we can utilize this page as a forum.
- We have links to our ACP home page which has many associated links of interest.
- Please sign up to become a “fan” or “like” our page so that we can keep in touch with you. Of note for those of us that are not as savvy with Facebook you do NOT need to have a Facebook account to access this page. We have a link on our ACP Iowa Chapter Web site also.
