Governor's Welcome

Greetings!

Internists--doctors for adults--are joined in the South Carolina Chapter, to speak for Internal Medicine and to reflect the interests and concerns of our specialty. If you are an internist in South Carolina but are not yet an ACP member, I invite you to browse our site to learn more about the College and our activities in the state.

The South Carolina Chapter is growing with close to 1,200 members (140 of those are residents and another 180 are medical students). Our chapter has a rich history of supporting the goal of the ACP to promote better patient care by educating and informing policy makers, patients, and fellow physicians.

As Governor, I have the responsibility of representing our Chapter to the national organization; encouraging internists in our state to become members and members to advance to Fellowship; recognizing members; encouraging input and action on national and local political issues effecting the environment of internal medicine; hosting local scientific meetings and CME events; and encouraging medical student members and Associates (i.e., residents) to participate in local and national College activities.

My hope is that this site makes it easy for physicians in our state to learn about and participate in the activities of our chapter.

If you have ideas for useful information we could include at this site or more importantly--how the Chapter can enhance your professional life--I would like to hear from you.

Sincerely,

Dawn E. Clancy, MD, MSCR, FACP
Governor, South Carolina
