Thursday, March 4, 2020 Currently many institutions have established domestic travel restrictions for their faculty and staff, and the state of Florida has declared a state of emergency. As a result, the APCCMPD BOD has moved the live meeting to a virtual format. We are no longer meeting in Fort Lauderdale and will instead be holding the conference online during the originally scheduled timeline. At its heart, the Annual Conference is the opportunity to learn from colleagues, hear about national policy changes that impact your fellowship programs, and collaborate with medical educators from across the country. As such, we are providing all of the content using a virtual platform, keeping the agenda and session times similar to what was planned for the live conference. The APCCMPD will also provide CME credit for your participation in the virtual conference or if you choose to view archived 2020 Annual Conference material. We realize that this is not an ideal conference format- we will all miss the networking opportunity that the live conference provides. The Board of Directors have elected to move the conference format to a virtual format rather than completely cancelling the conference for many reasons. First, there are a lot of national issues going on that we feel need to be communicated to the membership (Milestones 2.0, ACGME updates, a new ABIM call for input). Second, we are simply excited about the agenda we have put together and feel strongly that it is worth trialing an online format. Third, APCCMPD has a considerable investment in the national meeting, and not taking the opportunity to provide this content would mean a considerable loss to the organization. We have elected to move forward with the virtual format in lieu of reimbursing conference registration fees based upon these considerations.
