The new ACOI Resident Lecture Series program hosts lectures designed to bring current internal medicine residents and subspecialty fellows together with ACOI leadership and mentors. These meetings are free of charge for all ACOI resident members. 

Inspired by the success of both the ACOI Virtual Visiting Professor Program and the ACOI Student Lecture Series, the goal of the Resident Lecture Series is to help internal medicine trainees be successful during their training and be prepared for life after their post-graduate education. 

This new series provides residents and fellows support to navigate some of the most common hurdles and stressors they may face, such as providing insight into the basics of licensing and credentialing and tips on contract review.
