The College sponsors local and national abstract competitions for medical students that offer monetary awards and the chance to win recognition. The winning entries in both the National Clinical Vignette and Research competitions are featured each year at the College's premier annual Internal Medicine meeting. National winners are awarded a monetary prize to offset the cost of attending the meeting, and finalists are invited to compete on-site in the poster competitions for monetary prizes.
ACP will be holding a National Abstracts Competition as part of Internal Medicine 2014. The meeting will take place April 10 - 12, 2014, in Orlando, Florida. The submission deadline each year for the national competitions is December 1.
Abstracts are divided into four categories: Clinical Vignette, Basic Research, Clinical Research, Quality Improvement - Patient Safety.

All first authors who successfully submitted an abstract will be notified of the results via e-mail on or before February 1, 2013.
