2021 NYACP Annual Scientific Meeting - Virtual (Live) E-poster Competition

NYACP will once again be hosting a Fall abstract and poster competition. The Final Poster Presentations will be virtual and live online al E-poster presentations through Zoom Meetings.

Online abstract submissions and preliminary judging are the same.

Final Judging:  If you are chosen to present your E-poster, live dates to present are either Thursday, Sept. 23 or Sept. 30, 2021. You will be presenting live and online to a team of judges.

Since we do not have the opportunity to showcase physical posters this year with our Resident and Medical Student Forum, we request that each accepted poster presenter upload a slide with a digital version of your poster. You will have 8-10 minutes to present your work to faculty judges live via web-conference.

The winners will receive a spot in ACP's National Competition in Chicago in April 2022!

Online submissions are now open - deadline is July 16, 2021.

If you have worked on a research project or have an interesting clinical case, submit your abstract for a chance to present it online to a team of judges on zoom. Separate categories include:

• Research
• Clinical Vignette

Residents/Fellows and Medical Students will be combined in the following category:

• Quality

If your abstract is chosen, you will be invited to present your powerpoint slide online to a panel of judges for review and grading. Winners in each category will be automatically accepted into ACP's 2022 National Competition.
