ACP Global

ACP held its 16th annual Global Forum on April 28 in San Diego, CA, on “Profits versus Patients: The Global Threat of Rising Drug Prices.” During the Global Forum, presidents and representatives of internal medicine societies worldwide come together to discuss topics of importance to internal medicine specialists and subspecialists. To understand more perspectives about how pharmaceutical pricing constitutes an overall health threat to patients,  read the proceedings in the November/December issue of ACP Internist.

Join ACP and your colleagues in Boston, Massachusetts, April 18-20, 2024, at the annual marquee educational event for internal medicine physicians and subspecialists around the globe, Internal Medicine Meeting 2024.  Take advantage of the early savings and register by January 31. ACP offers substantial discounts for international members, as well as delegation discounts to groups of 10 or more.  Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn from leading experts in the field and network with your peers.
 
This month we recognize newly elected international Fellows and members who will receive Mastership and National Awards at this year's Internal Medicine Meeting. It is not too early to consider nominating a colleague for the 2024-25 awards program and begin coordinating the nomination materials.  

In this issue’s resource spotlight, we are also pleased to share “Perspectivas sobre la Salud Latina (Perspectives on Latino Health).” This podcast features conversations with expert internal medicine physicians and focuses on the Latino community and current challenges faced by Latinos in North and Central America. Stay tuned for more interviews from this series coming soon.
 

Sincerely,

Wendy Rivera-Craig
