Caribbean Chapter College Awards
Dr. Sharon Cordner advances to ACP Fellowship
Congratulations to Dr. Sharon Cordner, the newest FACP in our Chapter. She is a Consultant Physician and Head of Medicine at Mount St. John's Medical Centre, Antigua and Barbuda. ACP Fellowship is a mark of distinction representing the pinnacle of integrity, professionalism, and scholarship for those who aspire to pursue careers in Internal Medicine. The most important considerations for ACP Fellowship are excellence and contributions made to both medicine and to the broader community in which the internist lives and practices.
