Maryland Chapter Receives the 2024 John Tooker Evergreen Award
The John Tooker Evergreen Awards Program provides recognition and visibility to chapters that have successfully implemented programs to increase membership, improve communication, encourage member involvement, enhance diversity, foster careers in internal medicine or improve chapter management. Our Chapter received the 2024 John Tooker Evergreen Award for the initiative, CRAB Soccer Tournament Â
CRAB Soccer Tournament Â
In 2014, our Chief Residents Association of Baltimore (CRAB) proposed a soccer tournament with teams from each residency program in Maryland. The goals were to promote well-being through physical activity, foster camaraderie among residents from different programs, and with the Maryland ACP Chapter. The tournament has grown each year and is now one of the most important events our chapter hosts. We encourage non-soccer players to come and enjoy dinner, cheer on others, and post on social media. By 2023, 100 residents and family members were in attendance with 7 teams.
