PACEP Richard Wuerz CPC Competition and Keystone Case Competition PACEP's CPC and Keystone Case Competition is a great way to showcase your residency program at the state level! Both competitions provide a venue for scholarly presentation of cases. The CPC Competition is a great opportunity for the second best case for the program, or for any PGY3 or PGY4 to compete in a CPC. The state competition is modeled after the national competition. The best cases are difficult, but "gettable", based on the information presented. Awards are presented for the Best Resident Presenter and the Best Faculty Presenter. The Keystone Case Competition provides scholarly presentations of cases which may not lend themselves to an expanded discussion of the differential, as well as case series. Due to time constraints of the CPC Competition, cases submitted but not accepted as a CPC may be considered for the Keystone Competition.

Case submissions are accepted thru January 12, 2026 » submit online
