Dear Colleague,
I invite you to join me and your colleagues in
internal medicine at the next scientific meeting
of the Maryland Chapter of the American
College of Physicians, being held January 30–31,
2015 at the Turf Valley Resort and Conference
Center in Ellicott City.
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 14 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.
To ensure your place at this invaluable meeting,
complete the registration form at the back of
this brochure and send it in today. The opportunities available at this meeting will help you
meet not only your needs as a physician, but

Evergreen Award
The Evergreen Program was created
in 1993 by the College to recognize
and reward outstanding chapter efforts.
The Evergreen Program provides visibility to those chapters that have been
successful in implementing programs
that increase member communication
and involvement.
Each year all chapters are invited to
nominate their own programs and to
provide details on the goals of the
program, how it was implemented,
and what the results were. The Chapter
Subcommittee has the difficult task
of selecting a small group of chapters,
which are recognized nationally and
locally for their achievements.
We are excited to announce the 2014
Evergreen Award will be presented
to our chapter for “The Maryland
Chapter Medical Student Committee:
Creating a Legacy of Medical Student
Leadership Development program”
during the Friday reception.
CME Accreditation
The American College of Physicians
is accredited by the Accreditation
Council for Continuing Medical
Education (ACCME) to provide
continuing medical education
for physicians.
The American College of Physicians
designates this live activity for a maximum of 10 AMA PRA Category 1
Credit(s)TM. Physicians should claim
only the credit commensurate with
the extent of their participation
in the activity.
