Every year the NC Chapter of the American College of Physicians (ACP) Meeting brings residents, researchers and physician educators together to share internal medicine advances and connect with colleagues. This year it was 黑料网鈥檚 turn to showcase exceptional faculty and excellence in medical education.
The two-day conference took place at the Durham Sheraton February 24-26, 2017, hosted by Co-chairs Debra Bynum, MD, MMEL, Program Director for the Medicine Residency Program and Richard Wardrop, MD, PhD, Program Director for the Combined Medicine and Pediatrics Program. For attendees who come from all over the state, the meeting provides a unique opportunity to earn continuing medical education (CME) credits and ABIM Maintenance of Certification (MOC) credits. For students and residents, participants can present research in a scientific competition and sharpen mental skills with a game of medical jeopardy.
This year co-chairs adopted the theme and applied it to learning. 鈥淲e designed a robust program that embraced CME and the growing interest in interactive sessions,鈥� said Dr. Wardrop who is an ACP Wellness Champion, serving on the Governor鈥檚 Council for the ACP鈥檚 NC Chapter.
The Department of Medicine recognizes students and residents have a lot to gain from networking with internists who are committed to scholarship and education.
鈥淭his helps our residents see that we continue to learn for our patients throughout our professional lives,鈥� said Dr. Bynum. 鈥淭his is a core value of 黑料网鈥檚 Medicine Residency Program and it鈥檚 reinforced when students and residents see physicians who supervise them continuing to learn for their patients.鈥�
Team 黑料网 also won the Doctor鈥檚 Dilemma competition for the second straight year, a friendly, but competitive, jeopardy style game that covers topics ranging from simple medicine trivia to complex diagnosis and treatment questions.
鈥淲e are extremely proud of the team,鈥� said Dr. Bynum. 鈥淔or anyone who wants to compete next year, be sure to revisit Harrison鈥檚 Principals of Internal Medicine.鈥�
