JOINT MEETING WITH AMA IN 1961 By action of the Board of Trustees of the American Medical Association and the Board of Regents of the American College of Chest Physicians, a joint scientific program will be developed by the Committee on Scientific Program of the American College of Chest Physicians and the Section on Diseases of the Chest of the American Medical Association. This program, to be presented at the 1961 annual meeting of the American Medical Association in New York City, will be the first joint meeting in the history of the two societies. The College will shorten its annual meeting by one day, with its scientific sessions opening on the Saturday preceding the meeting of the American Medical Association instead of Friday as has been the custom during the past quarter of a century. The joint sessions with the Section on Diseases of the Chest of the American Medical Association will be held on Monday following the College meeting. As a result of this arrangement, more members of the American College of Chest Physicians will be able to stay over for the scientific sessions of the Section on Diseases of the Chest and visit the splendid scientific exhibits of the American Medical Association. The popular Fireside Conferences will be held on Monday night during the AMA meeting instead of Friday night as at past meetings. This will also be a joint session sponsored by both the American Medical Association and the College. The equally popular Round Table Luncheon meetings will be extended to Monday. It is not too early to make your plans now to attend this meeting.
