Congratulations to all of our resident presenters and award winners who participated in the 2022 ACP South Carolina Chapter meeting! 

The American College of Physicians’ South Carolina chapter held its scientific meeting on October 21-23, 2022. The three-day event brought together internists, medical students and residents from across the state to share recent medical advances and to discuss local and national issues facing internal medicine. The conference also featured oral and poster competitions and faculty awards.
