Fostering Excellence in Internal Medicine
Join us and your colleagues in internal medicine at the next scientific meeting of the AL/MS Chapter of the American College of Physicians, being held June 11 - 13, 2021, at the MSU Riley Center.
The meeting is a great way for you to recharge, rewind, and reflect with your peers, chapter leaders, and great speakers. Connect with the AL/MS Chapter's rich source of knowledge content and networking by attending our premier meeting for General Internists, Subspecialty internists, Fellows in subspecialty training, Hospitalists, Residents, and Medical students interested in internal medicine.
In addition to earning CME credits, this conference is about making personal contacts and getting involved in your chapter. You'll engage with people who know your challenges and can help you find solutions. The opportunities available at this meeting will help you meet not only your needs as a physician, but also the needs of the patients you serve.
We look forward to seeing you in Meridian.
