Vision Statement
"Medicine is currently in the midst of very significant changes; how to navigate them successfully isn't clear but I see several opportunities for our chapter to embrace. The already successful advocacy efforts will need to be even more active if possible. To support this, communication within the chapter will need to be frequent and effective using multiple modalities. Education will be critical as medical knowledge continues to grow exponentially and the maintenance of certification system evolves. ACP has outstanding educational resources that we will need to use fully as we innovate with the scientific meeting. Following the national strategic plan, our chapter will need to redouble our efforts to engage students, residents and young physicians. We have a rich collection of talent within our chapter and I look forward to working with you in developing our response to these challenges."
