Fall Greetings: Moving APsaA Forward

Warren R. Procci, M.D. — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 13:48:00 GMT

As summer slowly fades into autumn, the allure of vacation activities fades into the excitement of the new beginnings of another academic year.

I have wanted to share some of my thoughts about the summer's IPA meeting with you but I have waited until now to be sure that most of you are back in your offices, so I can speak to as many of you as I can.

The charms of this fabled city may well have contributed to our best spring attendance since 2004, the date of our last San Francisco meeting! I'd like to review with you a number of the major accomplishments of this continuation of our centenary and then I'll share with you some of my thoughts about the way we must continue to proceed from here. In my view, it is an absolute necessity that we devote the bulk of our resources to dealing with the many real world challenges that are currently staring us down.
