Robert M. Monger, MD, FACP, ACP Governor
Governor's Welcome
I had a great time attending the ACP 2022 Annual Meeting in Chicago at the end of April. The meeting was held at the McCormick Convention Center, which if you haven't been there is a huge facility with meeting rooms that seat thousands of people. ACP offered around 200 educational sessions and I was able to claim more than 20 hours of CME by the end of the meeting. There were hundreds of vendors and a large space dedicated to teaching procedures such as point of care ultrasound. It was great to be in person after two years of the meeting either being canceled or all virtual, and it was fun going to receptions and dinners and catching up with friends. There were thousands of physicians in person at the meeting but as far as I can tell I was the only physician from Wyoming to attend, although I did by chance run into a nephrologist who used to practice in Cheyenne but recently moved out of state. The meeting was truly paperless, and ACP has developed a great app that you download to your phone to use during the meeting, and with the app everything is digital including schedules, lecture handouts, session evaluations, asking questions of speakers, and claiming CME credit. Additionally, name tags have QR codes and whenever I signed up for anything like a raffle or a special educational session someone would just scan my badge. The meeting was hybrid with all sessions available live online, which is a great option for people who can't make it in person, and all lectures are recorded and available for several months after the meeting so that you can watch one later and still claim CME. Start planning now: the 2023 ACP Annual Meeting will be held at the end of April 2023 in San Diego, and I hope that next year there will be many more physicians from Wyoming at the meeting!
