Governor's Message
Dear ACP Indiana Chapter Members, Fellows, Residents, Medical Students, and non-member IM physician colleagues:
I hope this brief reminder message finds you well, and I hope that each of you had time to relax, refresh, and spend quality time with family this past summer, as we continue to battle the COVID19 pandemic.
As the tree leaves turn brilliant colors, and the cool, crisp autumn air permeates our days, it is time to remind all of you that the ACP Indiana Chapter is delighted to present our first VIRTUAL Chapter Meeting, to be held Friday, October 30th, from 8:30 AM until 1:30 PM. The Chapter also is planning a virtual Resident and Student Annual Poster Session on Thursday, October 29th. As an added bonus and very unique opportunity, our Chapter has decided to offer this virtual meeting – containing 4 hours of outstanding CME content from highly-recommended, knowledgeable speakers – FREE OF CHARGE to all registered participants. The October 30th meeting agenda is outlined below, and was crafted to address issues relevant to all of our membership, based upon member survey input and prior chapter meeting feedback.

ACP Statements Supporting Science and Expertise
ACP joined other professional organizations to support scientific, data driven decisions, and public health officials during the COVID pandemic.
On September 17, ACP joined close to 100 other organization representing physicians and other clinicians, public health experts, scientists, patients, and other advocates, urging FDA Commissioner Hahn and Director Marks of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research to ensure that a COVID-19 vaccine is only authorized or licensed when it meets the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) existing high standards of safety and efficacy.
