Looking for reasons to attend ACOFP’s 49th Annual Convention & Scientific Seminars? We’ve got them!
Be educated.
A wide range of workshops and lectures will update you on the latest techniques and advances in the field. Hear about dementia care, stroke prevention, medical home, practical/procedural dermatology, sleep apnea, pain management, sports medicine, women’s health, diabetes, cardiac interventions, disaster preparedness and more. And it’s not all sitting and listening; you’ll engage in hands-on learning and review of the most current methods and treatment strategies. This sharpened clinical knowledge will help you better serve your patients — and it can earn you up to 22 anticipated Category 1-A CME credits. Plus, get up to an additional 16 Category 1-A CME by registering for the pre-convention sessions and workshops.
Be inspired.
An undeniable benefit of the ACOFP Annual Convention is to step out of our normal routine and be reminded of why we love our work. You’re guaranteed a good dose of inspiration this year with a keynote address on Thursday by national political correspondent Mara Liasson. And on Saturday evening, join us in celebrating ACOFP award winners as well as Paul Martin, DO, FACOFP, the College’s new president.
Be equipped.
NEW! Discover the latest product and service innovations in osteopathic family medicine through the exhibitor showcase. This new convention feature — scheduled for Friday and Saturday — will allow you to learn about technologies and resources that can help grow your practice. Talk with exhibitors face to face to see what solutions are best for you.
Be connected.
This convention is your best opportunity to interact with peers, share ideas and develop new relationships. While ACOFP now offers more chances to connect with colleagues online, there’s no substitute for meeting in person. And students, residents and new physicians can advance their careers by connecting with leading professionals and programs in special sessions designed just for them.
Be heard.
As osteopathic family physicians, we must stay informed. Come hear about emerging socioeconomic challenges and legislative initiatives that will impact family medicine practice and reimbursement. Learn how you can play a role in ACOFP’s efforts to communicate the benefits of osteopathic medicine and serve as a respected resource for educators and policymakers.
Be rejuvenated.
The Annual Convention is a wonderful opportunity for a reprieve from winter’s cold. The spectacular Gaylord Palms Resort in sunny Kissimmee is the perfect setting for professional enrichment as well as a little R&R. You can enjoy rejuvenating spa services, work out in the fitness center, lounge in the hotel’s tropical plant-filled atrium, take a dip in the pool, or enjoy a meal or beverage at one of five restaurants. A quick drive from Orlando, the Gaylord also offers easy access to the area’s many theme parks and attractions.
Whether you’re a convention regular or a prospective first-timer, you won’t want to miss this opportunity. Plan now to join your ACOFP colleagues in March!
