Dear Colleague,
We invite you to join us and your colleagues in internal medicine
at the next scientific meeting of the New Jersey Chapter of the
American College of Physicians, being held Friday, March 6, 2015,

This meeting is not just for ACP members. We 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 6 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, register online at www.acponline.org/about_acp/
chapters/nj/news_meet.htm or 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

We look forward to seeing you in Iselin.
Sincerely,
