ACP Abstract Competitions
The College sponsors local and national abstract competitions for Associate and Medical Student Members. Winning entries in both the National Clinical Vignette and National Research Paper competitions are featured each year at the annual scientific meeting, Internal Medicine.
Associate and Medical Student Members can submit abstracts for the 2009 competition through the electronic abstract system beginning in August. More information, including a link to the system will be posted at that time.
For information on local abstract competitions, visit your Chapter Web site, or contact your ACP Governor.

Information for Judges
The success of ACP's Abstract Competitions is directly linked to the involvement of ACP volunteers. Hundreds of members volunteered their time during the 2008 Associate and Medical Student Member competitions. With the expected increase in abstract submissions next year, we will need even more Associates, Members, Fellows and Masters to volunteer.
There are two ways you can help during the 2009 Abstract Competitions.
- Review abstracts before Internal Medicine 2009. Each reviewer will be e-mailed approximately 35 abstracts in late October and have 4-6 weeks to review them.
- Judge posters during Internal Medicine 2009. Participate in a team of judges to review Associate or Medical Student displays at the meeting.
If you are interested in volunteering to help with the 2009 Abstract Competitions, please send an e-mail to ACP Membership Development indicating how you would like to help.
