Demonstrate Scholarship/Enhance your CV

ACP offers abstract competitions locally within its chapters as well as nationally in conjunction with the annual ACP Internal Medicine Meeting.

Learner Involvement:

• Medical students, residents, and subspecialty fellows are eligible to submit content in the categories of Basic Research, Clinical Research, Quality Improvement–Patient Safety, High Value Care, Physician Well-Being and Professional Fulfillment, and Clinical Vignette.
• Selected abstracts are eligible for poster presentation, and the top winners give podium presentations. Both of these are valuable additions to a CV and demonstrate scholarship.

Faculty Involvement:

• Early career teaching faculty are eligible to submit abstracts to ACP’s national competition in designated peer categories.
• Established faculty are encouraged to volunteer as judges for both local chapter and national competitions, growing their professional connections while enhancing their CV.

Recognize scholarship by having the winning team from your institution compete during your local ACP chapter competition. If they win the local competition, they’ll participate in the national competition and gain further exposure. Volunteers are often needed at each level of the competition.

Annals of Internal Medicine’s mission is to promote excellence in medicine. To achieve this mission, the journal publishes a wide variety of original research, review articles, practice guidelines, and commentary relevant to clinical practice, health care delivery, public health, health care policy, medical education, ethics, and research methodology.

If you work in any of these areas, consider submitting your work to Annals. The journal also welcomes medical humanities work, including history of medicine articles, personal essays, poetry, and graphic medicine articles. And if a camera is your preferred medium, consider submitting a cover photo.
