Governor's Newsletter June 2016 - French Version
Since May 2015, during the Internal Medicine Meeting in Boston, I have had the privilege of being the new Governor of the ACP Quebec Chapter, a term running until April 2019.
Two joint meetings between our Chapter and the ASMIQ were held during the last period. The first one, an update in endocrinology took place in October 2015 in Bromont. The second meeting was held in Ste-Foy and reviewed topics in dermatology and immunology. Evaluation feedback was excellent on these sessions and the participation by our members exceeded our expectations.
In May 2016, our Chapter has once again sponsored the inter-university day with residents from the four universities gathered and presenting stimulating clinical cases.
I am pleased to note that our Chapter has again achieved an ACP Chapter Excellence Award! There is pre-determined criteria that the Chapter met through the hard work and diligence of our chapter's council and the excellent work done by Ms. Domenica Utano, our Executive Director.
Since June 2015, our Council has three new members: Dr. Amal Bessissow, Early Career Physician Representative; Dr. Marilyne Brault, Resident Representative and Ioana Fugaru, Medical Student Representative. They join other Council members: Dr. Bert Govig, Dr. Linda Snell and Dr. Don Echenberg.
Congratulations to all new Fellows who participated in this year's convocation ceremony.

The Canadian Chapters offered a reduced registration rate for ACP 2016 held in Washington through the Canadian Delegation. Watch for this opportunity for next year's meeting in San Diego from March 30-April 1, 2017. https://im2017.acponline.org/educational-program/
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 Quebec (Dr. Myriam St-Pierre-Lussier, Dr. Steven Palanchuck, and Dr. Christine Arsenault from the University of Sherbrooke) did us 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 and many thanks to all of you who have attended the competition and encouraged our residents.
Quebec's Doctor's Dilemma Team
The Canadian Reception held in the Brasserie Beck on Friday, May 6, 2016 was a fun-filled evening with delicious food and networking opportunities.
Our Chapter is working on initiatives to support residents and medical students. Dr. Marilyne Brault has organized Doctor’ Dilemma local competition and Dr. Jean-Pascal Costa, internist at Notre-Dame Hospital CHUM, has held MKSAP review sessions with a group of residents. These sessions were extremely appreciated by the participants.
