ACOI 2021 Annual Convention and Scientific Sessions – Together Again in Orlando, FL

Agenda

Updated 9/29/2021

Welcome to #ACOI2021. Modern medicine has its roots in the late 19th century with leaders such as Drs. A.T. Still and Sir William Osler. Throughout the twentieth century medicine evolved, impacting countless lives along the way. At the turn of the 21st century, the Internet and its related technologies brought about significant changes to healthcare, and we entered the second era of modern medicine. Then, in 2020, medicine underwent another seismic shift as a result of COVID-19 and we entered a third era of modern medicine: Medicine 3.0.

This developing age of medicine is evident by significant changes in the provider-patient relationship with the dramatic advances of healthcare delivery via telehealth and telemedicine. Legions of men and women have decided to devote their professional lives to pursue healthcare-related fields as seen by an increase in interest in health careers. 

Being termed the “Fauci Effect,” public health and disease prevention have now entered new heights in terms of public interest – all the while advancements in medical therapeutics have evolved at an ever-increasing pace.

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. As the chairman of the ACOI Annual Convention Committee, I personally invite you to the 2021 ACOI Annual Convention in Orlando, Florida as we enter this exciting new era of modern medicine.

Thanks!
Robert Hasty, DO, FACOI, FACP
