Resident Vignette Abstract Submission Guidelines
Clinical Case Vignette Competition:
-
The clinical vignettes are meant to highlight interesting cases that have a relevant psychiatric and/or general medical teaching point(s) for the attendees. The more creative the presentation, the better. Examples include:
- They highlight common presentations of less common disorders
- They highlight unusual presentations of common disorders
- They illustrate an important principle about diagnosis, prevention or treatment
- They demonstrate an innovative and/or integrated approach to the management of a patient with co-morbid medical and psychiatric disease
The rules of the vignette competition are as follows:
- Case vignette submissions are to be from CCPS area residents (e.g. UCLA-Kern, Kaweah Delta, UCSF-Fresno, UC Davis). Non-CCPS residents may submit vignettes for consideration by the planning committee on a case-by-case basis. Each submission must have an identified faculty mentor.
-
Vignette abstracts must be submitted in the format described below, and should include a brief description of the case, discussion related to a differential diagnosis, a brief discussion of the importance and educational merit of the case – usually related to the diagnosis, prognosis, prevention or treatment.
- 2 independent reviewers will review the abstracts, and up to 6 vignettes will be chosen for presentation.
- When possible, at least one abstract will be chosen for presentation per residency program. Residency programs may submit more than one case vignette. However, if additional presentation slots are available in the competition after choosing one abstract per program, additional abstracts (maximum of 2 per residency program) will be selected.
- Abstract submissions must be received before November 7, 2024 . Authors of abstracts accepted for the clinical case vignette competition will be notified by early December 2024. All abstract authors must be able to attend the CCPS meeting.
