Call for Abstracts

Resident/Fellow & Medical Student Research, Clinical Vignette, & Quality Improvement Competition

The Minnesota Chapter of the American College of Physicians will hold its 2016 Minnesota Internal Medicine meeting on October 27-28, 2016 at the Minneapolis Convention Center. We are pleased to announce a Call for Abstracts for the meeting (the competition will take place on Friday, Oct. 28th). We invite ACP Medical Student members and Resident/Fellow members to submit a research, clinical vignette, or quality improvement abstract for the competition. Please note that all abstracts must be submitted electronically, and that the person submitting the abstract must be the primary author. For the 2016 competition, you may be the primary author/presenter on only one abstract, but you may assist with additional abstracts/posters.

• SUBMISSION DEADLINE: September 23, 2016 at 11:59 p.m. CST
• Electronic Abstract Submission Form--This form needs to be linked and updated for 2016 and accept abstracts thru Oct. 15, 2016
• 2016 abstract guidelines and criteria for each category--Update with the attached file and rename as 2016 abstract guidelines
• General guidelines for writing your abstract

Every poster presenter will have the opportunity to present his or her abstract to a faculty facilitator acting as judge and to a group of peers. The specific judging criteria will be sent following abstract submission. Presenters will advance based on the quality of their presentations. Prizes include cash awards, travel scholarships to the national ACP competition held during Internal Medicine 2017, as well as publication in "Minnesota Medicine".
