GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE
December is always a busy time as we prepare for the holidays, wrap up the year and reflect on the time that has passed so quickly. In July, we initiated the ACP sponsored monthly Medical Jeopardy competition between the General Internal Medicine Clinical Teaching Unit (CTU) teams at the University of Alberta Hospital. The coveted pizza lunch prize has been well earned by all the winning teams consisting of students and residents, while promoting the benefits of an ACP membership.
The Canadian Chapters Annual Business Meeting was held in October in beautiful Montreal during the annual meeting of the Canadian Society of Internal Medicine and the Quebec Chapter. This was a good opportunity to meet with my fellow Canadian governors and provide ACP members with an update on activities taking place across the country.
In November, the 2016 Rocky Mountain/ACP Western Canadian (BC, Alberta, Manitoba/Saskatchewan) Internal Medicine Scientific Meeting was held at the Rimrock Resort in Banff, Alberta. The AM Edwards/ACP Lecture was given by Dr. Ann Colbourne (picture below) entitled Models of Specialist Care in Underserviced Areas. Dr. Colbourne gave an outstanding and thoughtful presentation challenging us to think about how we can better serve patients in remote areas.
Congratulations to Dr. George Goldsand, MACP, who received an ACP Laureate Award from the Alberta Chapter.
Finally, I am proud to announce that the Alberta Chapter has again received an ACP Chapter Excellence Award! Thank you to all committee members and volunteers for their involvement, and I strongly encourage new members to contact me as to how they can get involved.
As we say good-bye to 2016, I wish everyone Happy Holidays and the very best for 2017 – see you in San Diego!
