held November 21–23, 2014, at the Parc 55

This meeting is not just for ACP members. I

learn about the benefits of membership at the
same time.
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.
• Take some time for yourself or with your family
to relax and enjoy the sights
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 now by visiting www.acponline.org/
chapters/ca and completing the easy online
registration form. You may also complete the
form at the back of this brochure and send it
by mail or fax. The opportunities available at
