The winners of the competition will be eligible to enter the National Poster Competitions in April 2022 at the ACP Internal Medicine Meeting – Chicago, Ill., or at the SHM Annual Conference in Nashville, Tenn.

This competition offers an exciting opportunity for medical students and residents to present research and case reports at a prestigious event and to gain recognition from peers and internal medicine leaders.

The virtual poster competition will be Thursday, Oct. 7, 2021, in the afternoon via Zoom. The deadline for abstracts is September 17, 2021.

Abstracts have a 450 word limit, excluding the title. See ACP guidelines for abstracts.

If your abstract is accepted it is easy to create a virtual poster. SMHS Medical Media has e-poster templates available.
