ACP National Abstract Competition
Students enrolled in international medical schools may become members of the American College of Physicians (ACP) free of charge. Membership allows students to submit abstracts for the ACP National Abstract Competition. Abstracts can be submitted in the categories of basic research, clinical research, quality improvement/patient safety, high value cost conscious care, and clinical vignette. The first author of any winning abstract is asked to prepare an oral or poster presentation at the ACP Internal Medicine Meeting. In 2014, Eleah Porter, a medical student at the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine, presented a poster entitled “A Rare Cause of Massive Hematuria: Renal Artery Aneurysm Rupture,” at the ACP National Conference. The research was based on a patient encounter during her surgery core clerkship at The Brooklyn Hospital Center. It was selected as a National Winner in the Student Clinical Vignette division.
