Chief Residents Association of Baltimore (CRAB)
2025-2026 Updates
Welcome Chief Residents!
We are excited to partner with you to help maximize your chief year and welcome you to the Chief Residents At Baltimore (CRAB) group of the Maryland ACP.
As part of CRAB we will ask your help in sharing information about events focused on residents and keeping us informed with how we can best support the work you do and the residents you are working with.
Thanks to Dr. Ram Bhutani, PGY-3 Assistant Chief Residents in Internal Medicine at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore for organizing this as an easy way to share resources and support each other for this year. Please ensure that we have your contact information for our WhatsApp CRAB group to streamline communication amongst chiefs.

- Once you join, feel free to add your co-chiefs as well.
