Important Notice: White Coat Wednesdays

Mark your calendar! Wednesday, March 11, 2009 has been confirmed as Internal Medicine's day to participate in the series of "White Coat Wednesday" events. These sessions are being designed as an advocacy "mini-internship" for physicians so organized medicine can become more effective in promoting the best interests of the profession and the patients you serve. We need a good turnout of internists to come to Raleigh that day to be a part of this event. Please see the information available at the link above for further details and reply ASAP using the accompanying form. You may respond either by return email ( askipper@ncmedsoc.org, or by faxing the form (919-833-2023).

Though March 11th has been designated as the Internal Medicine White Coat Wednesday, you are free and encouraged to participate on another Wednesday if you are not available that day. Simply indicate your preferred date(s) when you respond. And, if we can identify a second date when a group is available to come to Raleigh, we'll designate a second White Coat Wednesday for Internal Medicine.

  • 8:30am-9:30am: Meet at the Medical Society for an Advocacy Day overview. (222 N. Person Street, Raleigh)
