Dear Colleague,
As the Governor of the Georgia Chapter of the
American College of Physicians, I invite you to
join me and your colleagues in internal medicine
at our annual scientific meeting September
14–16, 2012, at the Legacy Lodge, Lake Lanier
Islands in Buford, Georgia. This meeting is not
just for ACP members. I particularly want to
invite non-members to join us for this important
clinical update and learn about the many benefits
of membership. I believe you will see ACP indeed
meets your most important needs as an internal
medicine physician.
In addition to earning up to 14 CME credits, by
attending this meeting you will:
• Learn relevant clinical updates in internal
medicine
• Discover new medical information technology
• Discuss state and national legislative and
regulatory issues affecting the practice and
teaching of internal medicine
• Greet old friends, meet new friends, and
develop a network of colleagues in your area
• Take some time for yourself or with your family
to relax and enjoy the sights around Lake
Lanier Islands
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 now by visiting www.gaacp.org and
completing the easy online registration form.
You may also complete the form at the back of
this brochure and send it by mail or fax. 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 at Lake Lanier Islands.
Sincerely,
Jacqueline W. Fincher, MD, MACP
ACP Governor, Georgia Chapter
