Women in Healthcare Committee Presents:

Speed Networking and Wine Tasting

February 22, 2024 | 6:00 p.m.

Pittsburgh Winery | Complimentary for Members

Female physicians representing 12 specialties will be on hand to connect with residents, students, and even those in early career stages. Attendees are encouraged to come prepared to chat about everything from navigating through residency, to selecting a specialty, and more. Attendees will rotate tables every five-minutes to connect with different physicians.

And every good networking event includes wine! Following the speed networking, attendees will be treated to a tasting featuring wines from Pittsburgh Winery. Small bites & appetizers from DiAnoia's will be served.

Renew your 2024 Membership Dues - Deadline to Renew is February 29, 2024

This year, physicians are required to renew your medical licenses. That means you'll need your Pennsylvania required CME in the areas of child abuse recognition, opioid management, patient safety, and risk management. Between ACMS and PAMED, we've got what you need and it's included as part of your membership.

PA-SIIS Changes to PIERS on January 17, 2024

On January 10, the ACMS hosted a virtual webinar with the PIERS implementation team from the PA Health Department. If you missed the webinar, the most important takeaway was that the Pennsylvania Immunization Registry is transitioning to a new Immunization Information System named Pennsylvania Immunization Electronic Registry System (PIERS) with a go-live date of January 17, 2024.

All current PA-SIIS users will need a PIERS account to access the new system, and users will not be able to log in via one universal account going forward. All users will need an individual login. Access to PIERS will be granted by registering as a Business Partner through Keystone ID. For instructions on how to register as a Business Partner, please see the PIERS Business Partner Registration Guide.

The ACMS has direct contacts within PA Department of Health implementation team, and we are happy to reach out on behalf of any members who may have questions about this transition.
