Clinical Resource Center

Don’t miss the all-new Clinical Resource Center, formerly the exhibit hall, redesigned to offer a richer, more valuable education experience. The ACCP made significant changes to transform its traditional exhibit hall into a Clinical Resource Center, where you can complement your learning and find tools and information to advance your practice.

Look for:

  • Experience ACCP, featuring resources to complement and enhance what you learn during education sessions.

  • Relevant education opportunities at individual booths, where exhibitors offer interactive or hands-on education opportunities.

  • Better layout, arranged by specialty cluster, so you can quickly find the areas of focus that interest you.

  • Local Medicine With a Global Reach—special presentations offering vital instruction in three areas of international health importance.

  • Favorite traditions, including free lunch, Disease-State Bingo, and more.

Local Medicine With a Global Reach
