Annual Sponsorship
We’re excited to announce a new opportunity in addition to our Exhibitor Prospectus!
Alongside our Exhibitor opportunities, we are pleased to offer a separate Annual Sponsorship for organizations interested in supporting our association and gaining additional visibility within our professional community through out the year.
The Oregon ACP Sponsorship Program is designed to build mission-aligned partnerships that support our educational and professional activities while preserving full independence over clinical and educational content. As the recognition of support by exhibitors at the Chapter Meeting is limited to that event, sponsorship reflects continuous annual support for the Chapter, and Chapter sponsors are therefore recognized regularly in our communications throughout the entire year.
Poster Competition
Submissions for Abstracts are open from July 24th – September 1, 2026 10:00 PM PST
Poster Presentations – Students AND Residents:
Basic Research: To improve human health, scientific discoveries must be translated into practical applications. Such discoveries typically begin at the bench with basic research—in which scientists study disease at a molecular or cellular level.
Clinical Research: Patient-oriented research. Research conducted with human subjects (or on material of human origin such as tissues, specimens and cognitive phenomena) for which an investigator (or colleague) directly interacts with human subjects. This area of research includes mechanisms of human disease; therapeutic interventions; clinical trials; development of new technologies; analysis of existing datasets; epidemiologic and behavioral studies; outcomes research and health services research.
Clinical Vignette: A clinical vignette is a report of one or more cases that illustrates a new disease entity, or a prominent or unusual clinical feature of an established disease. It may include a summary of pertinent patient history, physical findings, laboratory data, or management description.
HVCCC: Projects that focus on: reducing waste in the system (unnecessary testing and treatment or inappropriate setting for care), minimizing harms (radiation exposure, medication side effects), or improving patient care through communication (incorporating patient values and concerns into care plans).
QI: Submissions can report on efforts to improve patient safety or outcomes measurement. Such efforts may be projects developed and initiated to promote patient safety and/or processes that have improved or created a safer environment for patients. Abstracts may also be submitted that relate to the use of outcome data, how to measure and convert data into information.
Physician Well-being and Professional Fulfillment: A project or initiative focused on improving physician well-being and/or the practice/training environment. Projects may focus on improving practice culture; creating more positive learning environments; addressing mental health and stigma; reducing burdens that contribute to burnout, etc. Submission should demonstrate a measurable impact on physicians within your practice, chapter, program, or health system.
