NYACP Spotlight
As we close out 2024, let’s take a moment to celebrate the achievements and milestones that made this year truly exceptional for the NY Chapter members.
Engagement and Education
Nearly 2,700 members participated in 45 Chapter events this year! For those seeking CME and MOC, you were in the right place with 18 of the events having featured credits. In addition, recordings of 35 virtual events are available on NYACP’s YouTube channel and have amassed over 5,000 views this year! The most-watched video? “Modern Day Cholesterol Management: Let's Get Serious with Lipids.”
Of course, some experiences are best enjoyed live, like the beloved Small Feedings of the Soul narrative medicine virtual series and the Chapter’s statewide in-person district events that returned with increased momentum this year!
Podcasts and Accolades
For those who prefer podcasts over playlists during their commute, the Physician Spotlight Podcast earned an impressive 585 downloads this year! The top episode that struck a chord with listeners was “Saving Primary Care: Reflections from Advocacy Intern Dr. Raul Benavides”.
The podcast also shone brightly on social media, with the announcement of its ACP Evergreen Award becoming our most-liked post of the year! While speaking about social media, NYACP welcomed 394 new followers in 2024—just one part of our growing community.
Milestones and Advocacy
NYACP was thrilled to welcome over 2,000 new members this year! In addition, the Chapter celebrated 56 new ACP Fellows, 10 Chapter Award Winners, 3 Chapter Laureate Award Winners, 3 National Award Winners, and 2 Masterships (MACP) of the College – congratulations to all!
Thanks to all Chapter leaders and members-at-large for their repeat efforts on the legislative front. Recently, there were two major wins in state advocacy for NYACP (1) Governor Hochul vetoed the Wrongful Death/Grieving Families bill and (2) the Step Therapy bill was signed into law. Together, Chapter members sent nearly 300 messages to state officials, making member voices heard and driving meaningful change. A 2024 Legislative Report will be circulated to Chapter members shortly.
As we reflect upon 2024, we’re reminded of the strength, dedication, and camaraderie that the NYACP community offers. Thank you for your continued membership. With your help in 2025, we look forward to working together to accomplish more of NYACP’s important goals!
