Each year residents from the nine Internal Medicine training programs in Louisiana are invited to submit abstracts for the Annual American College of Physicians (ACP) Meeting of the Louisiana Chapter. The content of these abstracts includes clinical case vignettes or research activities. The abstracts have all identifying features removed (i.e., names, institutional affiliations, etc.) before being sent to physician judges. This year a total of 189 abstracts were submitted for the meeting. Each judge scores each abstract independently and then the scores from all judges are averaged and ranked. This year we are excited to be able to publish the most highly ranked resident (14) abstracts presented at this year’s competition that were selected for oral presentations. An additional selection of resident (51) abstracts presented as posters were selected by judges for publication. All abstracts were presented at the Associates Meeting held at The Center for Advance Learning and Simulation on the LSU Health Sciences Center campus in New Orleans on January 27, 2024. We would like to thank the resident council for helping score the abstracts selected for presentation: James Gore, Ochsner Medical Center; Allison Pinner, LSU New Orleans, Amit Rajkarnikar, LSU Lafayette; Cassie Clark, LSU Baton Rouge; Simin Khan, LSU Shreveport; Besim Ademi, Tulane University; Chukwunoso Ezean, Baton Rouge General; Arpita Pawa, Willis Knighton. We would like to thank the Journal of the Louisiana State Medical Society and appreciate its efforts to publicize the hard work of these trainees.
