Fall CME & Golf Outing

Fall CME & Golf Outing

Mark your calendars for the Fall CME & Golf Outing

dranooppatel The annual MAPI Golf CME is scheduled to take place from August 27 – 29, 2010 at the Resorts of Tullymore and St. Ives.

The golf course, designed by architect Jerry Matthews has received many prestigious awards over the years. Beyond the challenging golf that the two courses have to offer, the scenery is breathtaking.

The outing starts on Friday evening with a welcome reception and ends on Sunday afternoon at approximately 2 pm. Additional optional rounds of golf are available for Friday and Saturday at a discounted price through the pro shop at the resort.

Due to the limited space that is available, early registration is recommended. This is the first time that MAPI is arranging a golf outing at these courses so do not miss out on the opportunity to play at one of the premier courses in the country.

CME+ Golf = more than you might think

If you've only attended the Spring and Summer CMEs in the past because you thought that the golf might prove to be a distraction, think again.

A good argument can be made that under the right circumstances and with the right attitude, holding the Fall CME during a Golf Getaway Weekend can enhance the continuing medical education aspect of the event, says Henry B. Slotnick, PhD, PhD, professor of neuroscience at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, who conducts research on how physicians learn.

When physicians golf during a CME meeting, their conversations on the course often involve issues raised in the sessions they attend. An orthopedic surgeon I once interviewed told me that packing for CME meetings includes reviewing his current cases so he can take along the charts of his most demanding patients. He takes them in anticipation of discussing them with others at the meeting.

The Tullymore and St. Ives Golf Courses

It wouldn't be a Fall CME and Golf Outing without golf and the Resort of Tullymore and S. Ives boast a pair of the best golf courses in Michigan.

The two nationally awarded golf courses were designed by architects Jim Engh and Jerry Matthews and are known for their unique layouts, challenging holes and stunning scenery. Once you have played a round on these award-winning golf courses, you will be back again and again.

When your round is complete, unwind in one of our two clubhouses, which are surrounded by a wildlife sanctuary and are as delightfully different from one another as our courses.
