Associate Program Director Sumner Abraham, MD, obtained another mark of excellence with his recent election as a Fellow in the American College of Physicians (FACP). 

According to the ACP, the distinction “is a peer-reviewed and peer-supported credential that is a public reflection of excellence within the internal medicine profession. FACP signifies an ongoing dedication to the profession of internal medicine, the patients we care for, and the communities we serve.” 

Fellows are recognized by their peers in the areas of excellence in medical practice, teaching, and/or research. Eligibility requirements include at least 3 years experience after residency training, ACP membership for at least 3 of the past 4 years, initial board certification in Internal Medicine, and an active medical license in good standing. In addition, FACP candidates must demonstrate activity in at least three of the four pillars of the fellowship: continuing medical education; community service and engagement; practice improvement or scholarly activities; and teaching, coaching mentoring, or leadership. 

Congratulations to Dr. Abraham!
