ACCP’s Visual Abstract Challenge allows postgraduate trainees the opportunity to combine primary literature evaluation skills with the ability to creatively communicate key components of the published research. All visual abstract submissions for the 2025 challenge were evaluated by 3 expert reviewers. Individuals with the top 5 submissions received complimentary ACCP Annual Meeting registrations and ACCP gift codes redeemable for resources of their choice. Congratulations to the finalists!

The ACCP Visual Abstract Challenge is open to current residents, fellows, and post-Pharm.D. full-time graduate students. This innovative and unique competition offers individuals an opportunity to build their visual abstract creation skills for prepublished work in preparation for their own future publications. The challenge will open again for submissions in the spring of 2026. The finalists’ visual abstracts can be viewed at www.accp.com/resfel/vac/abstracts.aspx.
