The meeting features two named lectures, including the Jerome Cochran, MD, Lecture and the Ellann McCrory, MD Leadership Lecture.  We will also honor physicians who have made significant achievements throughout their careers, conduct the inauguration of the incoming president, and meet as the College of Counsellors and House of Delegates to conduct the annual business of the Association.
