Each year medical students from the five medical schools and residents from the eight Internal Medicine training programs in Louisiana are invited to submit abstracts for the Annual American College of Physicians (ACP) Resident and Student 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 resident council judges. This year a total of 117 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 (24) and student (9) abstracts presented at this year’s competition that were selected for oral presentations. All abstracts were presented at the Associates Meeting held virtually due to the COVID-19
pandemic on January 22, 2022. We would like to thank the Resident Council for helping score the top abstracts for presentation: Katherine Oakden, LSU New Orleans, Jacob Peoples, LSU Baton Rouge, Priyanka Patel, Chabert Medical Center, Chad Kaplan, Baton Rouge General, Paula Cacioppo, Ochsner Medical Center and Rebecca Prechter, LSU Lafayette. 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.
