Welcome

Welcome to our Annual Fall Scientific Meeting of the Michigan Chapter of the American College of Physicians.

The meeting is a great way for you to recharge, rewind, and reflect with your peers, Chapter leaders, and great speakers. Connect with the Michigan Chapter’s rich source of knowledge content and networking by attending our premier meeting for general internists, subspecialty internists, hospitalists, allied health practitioners, residents, and medical students.

As always, we welcome our collaboration with the Michigan Chapter, Society of Hospital Medicine. Their Chapter and members have become an instrinsic part of our meeting.
