Welcome message:
I’m excited to highlight how our chapter is committed to building a vibrant and connected community of internal medicine physicians throughout the state. Membership in ACP Florida not only provides access to a rich array of educational resources that are invaluable at every career stage, but also fosters connections with a passionate and engaged network of colleagues, all united by a shared dedication to advancing the field of internal medicine.
Our Communications Committee plays a vital role in shaping how we connect with our membership. We are proud to work alongside our members and leadership to develop innovative outreach strategies, ensuring we meet the evolving needs of our community. As part of these efforts, we’ve created a new chapter website, strengthened our social media outreach, refreshed the design of our newsletters, and collaborated with other committees to produce relevant, engaging content, including our new webinar series.
We are always looking for passionate individuals to join us in these efforts. If you have a flair for social media, graphic design, video editing, or simply want to help us spread the word about our chapter, we need you! Your energy and ideas can help us continue to grow and connect with our members in meaningful ways.
