Clinical Case of the Month
Abstracts From the Louisiana American College of Physicians Associates Meeting
Each year, medical students in Louisiana and residents from the seven internal medicine training programs in Louisiana are invited to submit abstracts for the annual Louisiana American College of Physicians (ACP) Associates Meeting. 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 who are not directly affiliated with the medical schools or training programs. Each judge scores each abstract independently, and the scores from the judges are then averaged and ranked. This year we are excited to be able to publish the 26 highest-ranked abstracts presented at this year’s competition. These abstracts (15 oral, 11 poster) were presented at the Associates Meeting held at Ochsner Clinic Foundation in New Orleans on January 26, 2012. Furthermore, during the oral and poster sessions, the presentations were evaluated by several faculty members and ** marks the abstracts that were considered the best at the meeting based on presentation and educational value. 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.
