Vision Statement
The DC Chapter of ACP has always had a lot to offer our community
of Internists. The local scientific session presents excellent
educational programs and our ACP committees continue to make
significant contributions to national ACP policy. The DC Chapter
also provides a helpful framework to the community of Internists in
our area. The Women in Medicine group is an example of that
framework, organizing networking and educational programs for women
Internists. If elected, I would like to expand on this program to
facilitate these types of networking and educational programs
amongst Internists in all types of practice; academic, private and
dedicated research. I would also like to see the DC Chapter take an
even more active role in sharing with medical students the rewards
of being an Internist. I am honored to be nominated for Governor of
our local chapter and I ask for your support.
