A Global Convergence of Internal Medicine Leaders

The American College of Physicians is set to host its 2026 Internal Medicine Meeting in San Francisco, drawing more than 5,000 clinicians, experts, and educators from around the world. Scheduled for April 16–18 at the Moscone Center, the three-day event serves as a premier forum for presenting new research and discussing the evolving challenges within the specialty. Attendees will engage with cutting-edge innovations in patient care and analyze the policy trends currently redefining the practice of internal medicine on a global scale.

Navigating Clinical Leadership Amid Information Chaos

A major highlight of the opening ceremony on April 16 will be a keynote address by Dr. Ashish K. Jha, the Dean of the Brown University School of Public Health. His presentation, titled “Clinical Leadership and Trust in the Age of Information Chaos,” will explore the complexities of maintaining public trust and effective health policy during times of crisis. Dr. Jha will draw upon his extensive expertise in global health to provide insights into how physicians can lead more effectively in an increasingly fragmented information landscape.

Unveiling Late-Breaking Scientific Research

The meeting will serve as a platform for the immediate release of critical medical data through a specialized plenary session featuring the Annals of Internal Medicine. During this session, lead investigators will present late-breaking research that is published in the flagship journal on the same day as the presentation. This “hear it first” format ensures that attendees are at the absolute forefront of scientific discovery, allowing them to integrate the newest clinical evidence into their practices without delay.
