Welcome Illinois DOs
This is the first installment on the President's blog. I look forward to you thoughts and concerns regarding any issues that affect our practice as DOs in Illinois.
The spring CME was a success again this year. The Practice of Medicine 2008 End of Life Care 2 day seminar provided excellent review and thoughtful commentary on the status of this important aspect of our practices. Many thanks to the outstanding efforts of the IOMS staff and Dr. Kirstein.
The IOMS Board which met on Friday April 4th, voted in several new awards to recognize the efforts of exceptional mentors. We also initiated a MSIV annual book award based on essay submissions on the topic of the importance polital involvement in our state organization.
We look forward to seeing you all at the Winter Scientific Conference for which planning is well underway. It promises to be another great conference. Save the Dates December 4th through the 8th.
Political involvement in our communities is an important function for each of us as physicians/community leaders. This week for instance, I attended a Town hall meeting sponsored by Representative Patti Bellock on MRSA infection and legislation. I am eager to hear your thoughts and concerns regarding the current testing legislation. We need to share our experiences regarding MRSA infections and the effects of the testing legislation. There is considerable controvery regarding this topic...eg. industry interference and cost vs benefit.
That's all for now...Now let's here from you!
Sincerely,
Tony DeLorenzo, DO, FACOI
IOMS President
