Invitation to students, residents, chief residents, fellows-in-training, and early career physicians as well as their mentors and program directors. Open to training programs within the Washington ACP Chapter (including Armed Services Chapter members stationed in Washington State)
Objectives:
To promote Research, Quality Improvement and Scholarship activities during training and provide opportunities to present your work.
We encourage all abstracts relevant to the field of Internal Medicine. Please note, however, that while most abstracts at our fall meeting are Clinical Vignettes, for our SPRING SCIENTIFIC session, we only accept abstracts in the following categories:
-Scientific research: Scholarship that advances medical knowledge; can include basic science or clinical research.
-Quality improvement / High value care: Scholarship that improves care delivery by increasing quality of care or reducing unnecessary costs.
-Medical education: Scholarship that describes an innovation or improvement in how we teach the practice of medicine.
Format:
Virtual conference of live oral abstract presentations.
The top 9 submissions will be selected for live oral abstract presentations, and then a selection will be made for poster presentations. The top three posters will also be featured during the live conference.
The top abstracts will be selected based on the logic of the project design, how clearly and succinctly it is explained and the significance to the fields of general internal medicine and medical education.
Featured topics:
Expert Panel: Career Paths in Medicine and Scholarship
Awards:
-The Top Place Medical Student and Resident Poster awardees will win $150!
-The Top Place Resident Oral Presentation awardee wins attendance to the National ACP Conference in 2027 location and date TBD.
