Media registration now open for Internal Medicine 2010 in Toronto

January 7th, 2010

What's on the agenda for Internal Medicine 2010 in Toronto this spring?

Just about everything that concerns health care and the practice of medicine. Do not miss the opportunity to report on the largest medical specialty organization and the second-largest physician group in the United States. More than 250 sessions provide comprehensive coverage of internal medicine, its subspecialties, and issues in practice management and health care policy.

Here is a sample of Internal Medicine 2010 highlights:

Dr. James Orbinski, humanitarian activist and associate professor of medicine at the University of Toronto, addresses the issue of equity and global health.
Current clinical guidelines for erectile dysfunction, heart disease, HIV screening, low back pain, osteoporosis, dementia, and COPD.
New challenges and approaches to controlling health care costs and expanding access to health insurance.
Diagnosis and treatment of headache.
Combat-related illness.
The physician's role in the spirituality of end-of life-care.
Key health policy issues concerning internal medicine.
The debate about concierge medicine.
Implications of the Patient-Centered Medical Home.
Two of Canada's leading medical historians discuss the influence of physicians who made a difference on society.
Final round of Doctor's Dilemma, a fast-paced, Jeopardy-style medical knowledge competition among students and residents.
Hands-on performance of clinical skills.
Updates in cardiology, diabetes treatment, dermatology, endocrinology, ethics and health policy, gastroenterology, geriatric medicine, health information technology, hematology, hospital medicine, infectious diseases, nephrology, neurology, oncology ophthalmology, otolaryngology, perioperative medicine, psychiatry, pulmonary diseases and critical care, rheumatology and allergy and immunology, and women's health.

If it is important to clinical practice or health care policy, it is important to the American College of Physicians and its annual scientific meeting, Internal Medicine 2010. Whether you are a reporter with a medical trade publication or member of the consumer media looking for an interesting story about adult or adolescent health topics, ACP's meeting offers a comprehensive look at clinical and policy issues in medicine.
