Greetings
Greetings SC ACP! We are excited to break in the new year with updates from our recent and upcoming activities! Be sure to visit our chapter webpage to keep up-to-date with chapter activities.
SC ACP is a 2019 Bronze Level Chapter Excellence Winner!
Highlights from the SC ACP 2019 Scientific Session
Over 130 physicians, physicians-in-training, medical students and advanced practice providers joined us for a little charm, culture and content that matters from 0ctober 25-27, 2019 in beautiful Charleston, SC. The meeting kicked off with fantastic poster and oral presentations by residents and students around the state, followed by a lively lunchtime Doctor's Dilemma competition. Meeting speaker highlights included a delightful discourse on The Visual Arts and Medicine by our Charles S Bryan lecturer, Richard Hoppmann MD FACP, as well as an informative talk on direct anticoagulants and the ever-popular College Update by visiting immediate past chair of the ACP Board of Regents, Andrew Dunn MD FACP. Our Early Career Physician group got “down and dirty” with a service activity/marsh clean-up with the Surfrider Foundation. You can get all the deets (that's “details”, for us old folks) by downloading the speaker presentations from our chapter website here.
