ACP's National Abstract Competitions offer wonderful opportunities for students, residents, and early career physicians to learn and network. “To be promoted in academic medicine, you need to have a national presence. … It's also a way to just get your work out and tell everybody about what you're doing,” says Tracey L. Henry, MD, MPH, MS, FACP. Dr. Henry won the podium competition in the clinical research category for early career physicians in 2024. Submissions will be accepted until December 2, 2024.
