Fostering Excellence in Internal Medicine
I invite you to join me and our colleagues in internal medicine at the next scientific meeting of the Wisconsin Chapter of the American College of Physicians, being held September 9-10, at the Wilderness Hotel and Glacier Canyon Conference Center.
This meeting is not just for ACP members. I particularly want to invite nonmembers to join us for this important clinical update and to learn about the benefits of membership at the same time. In addition to earning up to 12.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM, by attending this meeting you will:
- Gain insight into recent medical advances.
- Discuss local and national public health issues affecting the practice and teaching of internal medicine.
- Greet old friends, meet new friends, and develop a network of colleagues in your area.
Between scientific sessions, please visit the College table. You will find information on new ACP programs, products, and services. There’s always something new at the College table—stop by and see for yourself.
To ensure your place at this invaluable meeting, register online today. 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.
I look forward to seeing you in Wisconsin Dells.

Governor, Wisconsin Chapter of the American College of Physicians

2022 ACP Wisconsin Chapter Narrative Medicine Competition
Sponsored by the ACP-WI Women’s Committee and the Council of Medical Student Members
New this year, we are soliciting submissions from all ACP-WI members to our narrative medicine series “In the Life of this Wisconsin Doctor” to be showcased at the Annual Meeting.
All accepted submissions will be electronically published on the WI ACP website and can be listed on the author’s CV. The submissions will be judges and prizes awarded.
SUBMISSION INFORMATION: The ACP Wisconsin Chapter recognizes the value of sharing struggles, triumphs, and everyday life as a way to foster a sense of meaning in medical practice and remind us of the reasons we chose Internal Medicine and continue in this profession. To that end, we invite you to submit a written account of a part of your experience in medicine or other meaningful event.
Submissions of any length or format are welcomed (narrative essay, poetry, artwork, photography, etc); only narrative pieces will be judge for the Scientific Program competition. Suggested length for narrative pieces is 500-1500 words, but we will consider any appropriate submissions.
Any narrative about the member’s life or experiences can be submitted; narratives particularly regarding the practice of medicine, medical training, or patient interactions are particularly desired.
Any patient identities should be masked; if a patient is able to be identified based on information in the piece, signed permission from the patient or patient’s representative is required. If patient information is changed to hide identities, or the piece is a work of fiction, this should be noted.
Narrative submissions will be judged and prizes awarded. $500 in prizes are available for this competition, with separate categories based on level of training (medical students, residents/fellows, and practicing physicians each have their own category.)
Please email Veronica DeMore at info@acpwi.org with submissions and a cover letter addressing the patient identifiers as above. Deadline for submission for the competition and publication in the electronic meeting booklet is July 31, 2022.
