On behalf of the Washington Chapter of the American College of Physicians, we invite you to participate in this year’s annual abstract competition. Accepted abstracts will be invited for an oral presentation or to exhibit a poster.
This year’s Washington Chapter – ACP Annual Meeting will be held November 6-7, 2026 with a new format. Friday, November 6th will be in-person at Bell Harbor International Conference Center in Seattle (as well as via live webcast). Saturday, November 7th will be virtual for all participants.
We encourage all abstracts relevant to the field of Internal Medicine, however please note that the majority of abstracts at our fall meeting are “Clinical Vignettes”. While we also accept abstracts in other categories including clinical research, quality improvement, high value care, and medical education scholarship please be aware that our “Spring Scientific” session in May each year continues to grow and is a better venue for those categories of work.
The deadline for abstracts is Sunday, August 30th, 2026 at 11:59 PM.
The nine top-rated resident/fellow Clinical Vignette abstracts will be invited to present a seven-minute oral presentation either in-person November 6th at Bell Harbor or virtually on the 7th during the annual meeting’s plenary sessions. The top-rated oral presentation will win a travel grant to attend and present their abstract at next year’s ACP annual meeting to be held in Los Angeles, CA, from April 15-17, 2027.
Those who accept an invitation to submit poster entries are asked to be present with their posters from 4:00 – 6:30 pm on Friday, November 6th in-person at Bell Harbor. At that time, they will discuss their abstract with the judges as part of the judging for the competition. The best resident/fellow poster and medical student poster receive an $150 award. There will be no virtual poster presentations.
Guidelines to help you prepare a submission for a winning abstract can be viewed here.
If you have any questions about the abstract competition, please feel free to contact the Chair of the abstract competition, Dr. Ananth Shenoy at ananth.shenoy.jr@gmail.com or ACP Abstract Coordinator, Whitney Wilkinson at whitney@aminc.org
