ACP will reimburse for ground transportation (Taxicab, shuttle, rideshare/Uber/Lyft) between airport/train station and the Course Location (save receipts!).  ACP will also reimburse parking lot fees, tolls, and round-trip mileage at the prevailing Federal mileage rate.  Self-parking at the Renaissance Schaumburg is complimentary.  Use of rental car requires special advance permission from ACP staff. Please do not reserve a rental car without speaking to ACP staff in advance of the Course date.

Visit the Registration Desk located just outside the Nirvana Ballroom at the Renaissance Convention Center Hotel. The ballroom is located on the 2nd floor of the shorter building on the left-hand side of the hotel. The two hotel buildings are connected by a skywalk.

Please plan to check-in at the Nirvana Ballroom approximately 90 minutes in advance of your session start time.  If you are the first talk in the morning, please plan to arrive 45 minutes before you are scheduled to speak.

As faculty, you are responsible for all costs upfront and will be reimbursed after the board review course. An expense reimbursement form will be provided to you toward the end of the meeting.  ACP requires receipts to document airfare, lodging, meals, and other expenses greater than $50.

ACP will reimburse Board Review faculty for the following:

• Actual transportation expenses for up to one round-trip non-refundable coach fare rate, excluding upgrade costs. ACP does not reimburse for the use of Frequent Flyer miles if traveling by air nor for Amtrak’s Acela if traveling by train.
• Local ground transportation expenses, including taxi, personal auto mileage, personal auto parking, tolls, and tips. Neither gasoline nor car rental and related fees are reimbursable.
• For each day that you are scheduled to serve as faculty on the program you will be reimbursed for meals and tips. We ask that you stay within the College guideline of a maximum of $100 per day for meals, beverages, and tips.

The Internal Medicine Board Review course audience consists of those taking the initial certification, Maintenance of Certification, and those interested in updates in Internal Medicine.

The American College of Physicians requires that your presentation be free of commercial bias. When discussing therapeutic options, it is ACP’s preference that you use only generic names. If it is necessary to use a trade name, then those of several companies must be used. All clinical recommendations must be based on evidence that is accepted within the profession of medicine as adequate justification for their indications and contraindications in the care of patients. References to scientific research in support or justification of a patient care recommendation must conform to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection, and analysis. It is your responsibility to inform the audience of any discussion of unapproved or investigative use of a commercial product or device during your presentation or in response to questions posed by the audience.

In accordance with ACCME’s Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education, education must be free of marketing or sales of products or services. Faculty must not actively promote or sell products or services that serve their professional or financial interests during accredited education.

You will be required to review your slides from March 4th - March 18th. Revisions to the material are requested by March 18, 2024. ACP will incorporate necessary updates and provide finalized presentations by April 29, 2024.  Should you encounter an update or error in your presentation after this date please notify your course director immediately.

You may add to the Notes section of your presentations until May 9, 2024. After May 9th, you will need to hand-carry any additional notes to the conference.

Please review your presentation and alert us to any medical inaccuracies or out-of-date information by using the Comment feature rather than making your changes directly in PowerPoint.  Also, please refer to the Notes section of the slide decks for multiple-choice question critiques, figure legends, and other helpful details that may assist you when creating your notes.

Speakers are to only use confidential or proprietary information disclosed to them by ACP to perform the Services. Speakers shall not disclose any confidential information, proprietary information, or trade secrets of ACP without the prior written consent and approval of ACP. The ACP-provided Internal Medicine Presentation will be confidential or proprietary information of ACP.
