Nominations for NYACP Bronx & Manhattan Region Governor-Elect Candidates
The ACP national office is conducting a Governor-Elect election for the Bronx & Manhattan Region of our Chapter this year. The Local Nominating Committee (LNC) will be responsible for identifying two candidates who are willing and able to serve a four-year term (April 2023 - April 2027), in addition to a year of training as Governor-elect (April 2022 - April 2023).
We are looking for a dynamic leader who exhibits integrity, shows commitment to the College and demonstrates dedication to the Chapter and the medical community. The successful candidate will work with Chapter members, NYACP staff, and leaders in internal medicine at the national level. A Governor typically spends several hours per week on college business with the support of executive administrative staff. Serving as an ACP Governor can be an extremely rewarding and life-changing experience.

Group Payments from Training Programs Now Accepted for New IM Residents to Complete NYS Mandated Addiction and Pain Management Course
Good News: The New York Chapter American College of Physicians (NYACP) continues to partner with Boston University School of Medicine (BU) for the purpose of offering an online pain training course for prescribers licensed in the State of New York. This course fulfills the NY mandated 3 hours of continuing medical education (CME) on addiction and pain management for prescribers as required by NY Public Health Law Sec. 3309-a(3).
New in 2021: NYACP is now accepting group payments by check, credit card, or ACH for residents and/or other institutional prescribers who need to satisfy NYS’s every 3-year renewal requirement. Once a group payment is made to NYACP, the Chapter will immediately issue a request for coupon codes that will be redeemable by the individuals with whom you share an allocated coupon code. The codes, obtained from BU, will then be sent to the residency program director (or his/her designee) for distribution.
Additionally, for all new 2021 residents at your program who are ACP members, NYACP will waive the $20 pain course fee following membership verification (either before or after the group payment).
For more information about options pertaining to the ACP member verification process, contact Loretta Ponesse, CAE, NYACP Assistant Executive Director at 518.427.0366 x2 or email lponesse@nyacp.org.
Thank you for your ongoing support of NYACP!
