Governor's Message
Hello Everyone,
The holidays are right around the corner and that means our Annual Chapter Meeting has come to a close. After being virtual for two years it was great to be back in person and to be able to welcome everyone who was able to join us.
In this newsletter we will highlight all of our chapter award winners as well as poster and Drs. Dilemma winners. I would also like to highlight our incredible program committee for putting together another successful meeting,
If you were unable to join us, I hope you will consider attending Internal Medicine 2023 in San Diego where we will continue to celebrate all of our chapter accomplishments and welcome in our new Governor.
Happy Holidays,
Craig Nielsen, MD, FACP
Governor
