Governor's Message

It was great to see all the attendees at the ACP Internal Medicine Meeting in Washington. There was excitement as new scientific ideas were discussed and presented. I hope all that attended appreciated what a great opportunity it is to meet with scientific leaders from North America and around the world.

A highlight was the convocation for new fellows which was held on the Thursday afternoon. Seeing the hundreds of participants from 56 countries around the world demonstrated the importance and reach of the ACP to internists. Congratulations to all new Fellows! Dr. Winston Heslop and Dr. Lawrence Jacobs Jr. attended convocation this year. You will see the pride and enthusiasm of your Canadian governors in the photo as we prepared for convocation.

The Canadian Chapters offered a reduced registration rate through the Canadian Delegation. Watch for this opportunity for next year's meeting in San Diego from March 30-April 1, 2017.

Another highlight was the Doctor's Dilemma competition where we were so well represented by the Canadian teams from Ontario, Quebec and Alberta. Our team from McMaster did Ontario proud by making it to the semi-finals where an exciting match took place. It was very stressful to have to perform against four other teams simultaneously. Congratulations to all the Canadian teams!

ACP in Ontario has a large number of resident members and as they complete their training I hope that they will consider joining ACP as a member or a fellow. ACP provides excellent educational material in the Annals and the annual meeting provides an opportunity for networking and learning at the same time. The time you have been a resident member can be applied to your time required for fellowship.

To those who are moving to new cities and positions. Good luck and great success! To those who are hoping for a good summer I hope the weather cooperates!
