ACP-ASIM is the nation's largest medical specialty organization. ACP, founded in 1915, and ASIM, founded in 1956 merged in July of 1998. Membership comprises more than 115,000 internal medicine physicians and medical students.
Internists provide the majority of health care to adults in America.
If you are an internist in Brazil but are not yet an ACP-ASIM member, I invite you to browse our site to learn more about the College and the Region activities in our area. Our newsletter and details about upcoming regional meetings will be posted here along with names and addresses so that you can communicate with us. Any suggestions you might have for what should be included in our Web site are encouraged. Similarly, we would like to hear any suggestions you have for how the Brazil Region of the ACP-ASIM might help make us better physicians and improve the quality of the professional life of internists. We hope that you will visit this site frequently and enjoy its contents.
