The the recordings of the 2021 ACOI Annual Convention and Scientific Sessions will be available on our Online Learning Center in late January, 2022.
Let’s Get Together for CME Education at its Finest
Join us for our first hybrid live/virtual event.
Big news! ACOI's 2021 Annual Convention and Scientific Sessions will remain a hybrid live and virtual event. Read more about our decision here. The theme of the 2021 ACOI Annual Convention is centered around this new era and how Medicine 3.0 has changed the practice of medicine and has the potential of improving the lives of countless people, including the practice of medicine for the osteopathic internist.
Will you attend live or in-person? It’s your choice! Attend in-person and you will enjoy all the perks of being back together and enjoying time with your colleagues with social and networking opportunities in addition to lively CME meetings. Plus, it’s a great excuse to bring the family with all of the Disney fun nearby. Hotel rooms will be in limited supply, so we encourage you to make your plans now!
If getting away isn’t possible for you this year, we are providing a virtual convention with all of the sessions available to you at your office or home. It’s easy to use the virtual platform and plan out your conference experience. Plus, join in on Q&A after each session to connect with the speaker and fellow members.
Either way, it is an event not to be missed to learn best practices for delivering patient care in this "new normal." Be a part of this historic time as we gather together again.
When it comes to choosing internal medicine conferences, we doubt you’ll find a more comprehensive opportunity to achieve your CME requirements than at #ACOI2021. At the 2021 ACOI Annual Convention and Scientific Sessions you can earn approximately 60 hours of AOA Category 1A / AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
