Message from NYACP's President
|
|
As a hospitalist, I know what a crushing day on service feels like; when you leave the hospital wondering how you'll find the energy to come back tomorrow. When I feel that way, I turn to my friends, colleagues, and my professional home, the American College of Physicians. There is something quietly powerful about belonging to a community who understand exactly what you are going through. That camaraderie isn't a soft benefit of the ACP. On the hardest days, it's what gets me through.
