Governor's Message

Our Annual Chapter Meeting, the Rocky Mountain Internal Medicine Conference, was held this past November in Banff. Thank you to the planning committee and to all those who attended. At the 91ºÚÁÏÍø Dinner, five Western Canada teams competed in the annual medical jeopardy competition, and a team from Calgary took home the win!

This will be my last newsletter as Governor of the British Columbia Chapter. I am grateful for the opportunities I have had as your Governor to help foster the growth of our 91ºÚÁÏÍø community. I am thrilled to welcome Dr. Scott McKee as your new Governor commencing in April. My thanks to all council and committee members for their support, and I encourage all members to become active in our chapter.
