Meeting Highlights
  • Although there is ample opportunity for CME with the compressed format tried this year, the focus of the meeting remains on academic pursuits for medical students, residents, fellows and young faculty in abstract competitions, quick paced question competitions and presenting illustrative case discussions.
  • Dr. Wyatt will offer an informatics medical officer insider view of artificial intelligence in a large statewide health care system.
  • A potpourri of hot topics for internal medicine in 2024 are scheduled including advances in cardiometabolic diseases and cancer prevention.
  • A session with Dr. McCarthy highlighting personal stories through the Healthcare is Human project is planned for Saturday. There will be time for medical students, residents and fellows to meet with ACP members, FACP's and the faculty. Healthcare is Human, an independent project launched by Ryan McCarthy, M.D., is emphasizing the ‘care’ in healthcare by highlighting the stories of healthcare workers through narrative medicine.
