It is my pleasure to invite you to the 5th annual ANACP meeting! This year’s virtual meeting will start on the weekend of December 5th- 6th, 2020, and continue on December 12th, 2020 and December 19th, 2020.
ANACP will offer a variety of CME programs and entertainment. I am very pleased to announce that Dr. Wolfgang C.

Dr. Winkelmayer is a Professor of Medicine and Section Chief of Nephrology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. He also serves as Associate Editor of The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and Co-Chair of Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO), which is the major organization aimed at developing and implementing evidence-based clinical practice guidelines in kidney disease. He will talk on “Keeping Guidelines Current in the Information Age”. Our second speaker is Dr. Keqin Hu, also a distinguished and renounced speaker. Dr. Hu is a Professor of Clinical Medicine, and a Director of H.H. Chao Comprehensive Disease Center at University of California, Irvine. He will talk on “Expert Recommendations on Managing Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B”.

Additionally, the annual conference will continue with our member meeting and very popular traditional art performance. There will be several opportunities to socially connect on this year’s virtual meeting as well. Please see the agenda of the programs.

I look forward to seeing you all on ZOOM in December. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about this upcoming meeting.

Stay safe and healthy!
