Message from the Governor
Minnesota ACP friends,
It is September and officially fall! You may be a 鈥淔all fan鈥 and looking forward to football, apples and pumpkin anything, or you may be like me and be nostalgic for the summer days that are ending. Regardless of where you land on the fall loving spectrum, changing of seasons offers us all a time of transition and of resetting.
In our family it means getting the kids back to school routines and after school activities as well as getting our family google calendar updates with vacation days and end of year holidays. For me, it also means carving out time to set my goals for the end of the year and any new habits I hope to develop.
One goal I have set for myself is to submit a clinical workshop idea to the national ACP meeting. Planning for the national meeting is done in advance so workshops are being accepted for the April 2025 meeting which has the added bonus of being in New Orleans. Many of us teach in our jobs and each year we see that our Fall meeting is full of topics and seminars that help us in our practice. Those can easily be turned into or posters that can also be showcased at the national meeting. Being able to share the work that our Minnesota chapter is doing with other Internal Medicine doctors helps build community and broadens our collective knowledge. I want to strongly encourage you to look into joining me in that goal.
Fall is also the time for our IM Family Reunion, also known as our Minnesota Internal Medicine:2023 that will take place Friday, October 27th in a new location (Hilton Hotel- Mall of America/MSP). It is such a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and get updates on a broad range of topics.
Please come say 鈥渉i鈥 when you are at the meeting or email me sela0007@umn.edu if you have any questions or have ideas on how ACP can support your practice.
Until then and with gratitude,
Tseganesh Selameab, MD, FACP
Governor, Minnesota ACP
