Dear Colleague,
I invite you to join me and your colleagues
in internal medicine at the next scientific
meeting of the Arkansas Chapter of the
American College of Physicians, being held
November 7–8, 2014, at the NEA Baptist
Memorial Hospital 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 12.5 CME credits, by
attending this meeting you will:
• Gain insight into recent medical advances.
• Discuss local and national 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.
This educational activity
has been designated for
12.5 CME credits.
To ensure your place at this invaluable meeting,
register now by visiting www.acponline.org/
