Associate Abstract Competitions
National Competitions
The College sponsors local and national abstract competitions especially for Associate members that offer monetary awards and the chance to win recognition. The winning entries in both the National Clinical Vignette and Research Paper competitions are featured each year at the College's premier annual Internal Medicine meeting, and national winners and finalists receive complimentary registration to the meeting. The submission deadline is December 4, 2009, 11:59 PM EST.
Abstracts are divided into four categories: Clinical Vignette, Basic Research, Clinical Research, Quality Improvement - Patient Safety.
