Governor's Message
Our Annual Chapter Meeting, the Rocky Mountain Internal Medicine Conference, was held this past November in Banff. Thank you to the planning committee and to all those who attended. At the ACP Dinner, five Western Canada teams competed in the annual medical jeopardy competition, and a team from Calgary took home the win!
