Governor's Message
Hello everyone!
What a beautiful and busy autumn we're having! And we were able to enjoy all the colors at our ASMIQ-ACP Quebec Chapter Meeting on October 11-13 at l'Estérel Hotel! It was an enchanting location to learn more about infectious diseases and to keep us in shape with the many outdoor activities the Laurentians have to offer!
Dr. Matthew Cheng, this year's ACP Quebec Chapter speaker, brought us up to date on the latest in the investigation, treatment and research of Staph. aureus bacteremia. The ACP Town Hall and Reception Saturday evening gave us a chance to network and catch up with friends!
On Sunday, we honoured Dr. Donald Echenberg, who was awarded the ACP Quebec Chapter's Leader Award for his dedication and great contribution to the ACP and his lifetime of teaching in internal medicine. We also presented the Resident of the Year Award to Dr. Elie Zeidan, for his much-appreciated involvement within our Chapter.

The Ontario Chapter and the CSIM held their annual meeting October 16-19 in Hamilton and offered a Doctor's Dilemma session. Our team from Mc Gill, Dr. Jad Alkass, Dr. Dean Noutsios, Dr. Owen Luo, competed and took second place!
