APC 2022 Preview

“Advancing a Healthy Community: The Latest Trends in Medicine” is the theme for the 90th Annual Postgraduate Convention (APC) plenary sessions, to be held in collaboration with Loma Linda University Health Homecoming (March 3–7, 2022).

While last year’s virtual APC provided a unique opportunity for our alumni to earn Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits from the comfort of their homes, we are thrilled to be back in person in 2022. For our alumni who still want to earn CME credits from afar, this year’s plenary sessions will be available to stream online in addition to the live, in-person presentations.

Medical research posters will be available to view March 6–7, and we have a full schedule of your favorite events planned, including the Gala, class reunions, daily worship time, the annual Alumni Association business meeting and luncheon, and much more. We hope to see you all here in Loma Linda this coming March!
