Congratulations to the winners of the 2014 National Emergency Medicine Clinical Pathologic Case Presentation (CPC) Semi-Final Competition, sponsored by ACEP, CORD, EMRA, and SAEM! The competition was fierce at this year's event, held the 2015 CORD Academic Assembly held in April. Eighty emergency medicine residency programs submitted cases in the preliminary round, which were judged on quality, applicability to emergency medicine, and solvability. Seventy-two of the best cases were chosen for the semi-final competition. Presenting residents were scored on quality, organization, style, and clarity.
