Press Credentials
ACPM holds two major meetings each year: the Board Review Course in late summer; and the Preventive Medicine (Annual Meeting) in the winter. The
Board Review Course is an opportunity for physicians to prepare for board certification exams, administered by the American Board of Preventive Medicine.
The Preventive Medicine meeting provides physicians with an opportunity to learn, share and network in a collegial setting. For media and the general
public, ACPM’s Preventive Medicine meeting provides an opportunity to learn more about preventive medicine, and become or stay current on the latest research and
developments in the specialty.

• Membership for a national journalism association
• Business card clearly showing media affiliation and position (such as editor, writer, producer, reporter, etc.)
