to learn about the benefits of membership
at the same time.
In addition to earning 11.5 CME credits, by

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
Albuquerque.
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.
This educational
activity has been
