Welcome spring! I am pleased to report that the recent ACP Internal Medicine Meeting in San Diego was another success with approximately 6,900 delegates from around the world including over 250 Canadians. It was a pleasure to see many of you at the Canadian Chapters' reception and we hope to continue working with the other Canadian Provincial Chapters to keep this an annual tradition.
Once again a Doctor's Dilemma team from Alberta (Dr. Ken Sun, Dr. Raymond Xing, and Dr. Graham Mah) did us proud. Canada had 5 teams (Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, BC, Atlantic Provinces) compete in this year's annual ACP Doctor's Dilemma® with Alberta and Ontario making it through to the semi-finals. They did not take the trophy home but there is always next year!
At the local level, our continuing monthly “Medical Jeopardy” competitions at the University of Alberta Hospital Sites have been a resounding success pitting the 3 CTU resident/student teams against each other at the end of each rotation for the coveted Pizza 73 prize. Congratulations to all winning teams – hope you enjoyed the pizza.
On March 15, Dr. Anca Tapardel hosted a Year 1 and 2 medical student stories from the wards pizza/pop event sponsored by ACP Alberta. This was well attended by students and faculty.

Recent data show that more than half of the US physicians have symptoms of burnout. In response to this, ACP is in the midst of a multi-year effort to promote professional satisfaction, support physician wellness, and reduce burnout. Courses are being offered at the national ACP Internal Medicine meetings on work-life balance, resilience, burnout and wellness.
ACP members wishing to learn more about reducing and preventing burnout may find these resources helpful. In addition, the American Medical Association, in partnership with ACP and the Hennepin County Medical Center, has developed Steps Forward, which are modules addressing seven key steps to help prevent burnout.
