ACP LEAD transition deadline reminder

College members currently pursuing an ACP Leadership Enhancement and Development (LEAD) Certificate must declare their intent to complete the requirements by emailing ACP at LEAD@acponline.org by Dec. 31, 2013. To earn a LEAD certificate, physicians must participate in 5 out of 7 LEAD activities and complete an application by June 30, 2014.

In partnership with the American College of Physician Executives (ACPE), the ACP Leadership Academy, ACP's new leadership development program designed to provide early career internists with the skills and knowledge necessary to become leaders in medicine, is replacing ACP's LEAD program.

Former ACP LEAD certificate recipients and ACP members who have completed some but not all of the requirements for a LEAD certificate may transfer up to 22 credits toward completion of the prerequisites for ACPE's certificate by June 30, 2014. To determine how many credits you may transfer, please email ACP at LEAD@acponline.org by Dec. 31, 2013. Applications for ACP's LEAD certificate or transfer of credits will not be accepted after this date.
