Governor's Message
- This year's Internal Medicine Meeting in Philadelphia was a resounding success with over 8,800 delegates from around the world along with 212 Canadians. The education was excellent, and I encourage you to attend future meetings.

- The six Canadian chapters were delighted to host another well-received reception for the Canadians in attendance at this year's IM Meeting. Members had the opportunity to network with their colleagues and the Governors. My thanks to Ms. Domenica Utano, Executive Director of the Canadian Chapters, for organizing the event and for her ongoing work throughout the year.
- The Convocation of the American College of Physicians is an annual ceremony whereby the College recognizes and applauds its new Fellows, Masters and the recipients of various honors. Congratulations to all!
