2015 marks the 100th anniversary of ACP. The College will host a series of events and activities throughout the year to celebrate ACP's commitment to excellence and its dedication to internal medicine and patient care.
In honor of our centennial, ACP developed an online timeline featuring historical facts, images, and anecdotes about the organization in a decade-by-decade format; in addition, a commemorative history book will be published.
Each issue of ACP Internist this year will feature an article focusing on each decade of ACP's history. Each issue of Annals will include a historical article that corresponds to a current topic in the journal, several History of Medicine articles, and photographs of internal medicine physicians on the cover.
ACP's 2015 Internal Medicine Meeting, to be held April 30 through May 2 in Boston, will feature several centennial-related events, including an art exhibit and several special sessions, including “Defining Internal Medicine: The History of ACP,” “History of Politics in American Medicine,” “The History of Annals of Internal Medicine and the Future of Medical Journals,” and “Award-Winning Innovations in High Value Care.”
