CHICAGO, March 28, 2005 – Seven posters describing graduate medical education projects received awards of excellence at the 2005 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Annual Educational Conference. The conference took place March 3-5 at the Gaylord Palms Hotel and Convention Center in Kissimmee, Fla.
The nearly 1,000 conference attendees program directors, program coordinators, designated institutional officials, faculty members and residents were invited to submit abstracts to the Marvin R. Dunn Poster Session, which is named in honor of the late Dr. Dunn, who served as the ACGME’s director of RRC activities for five years. “Initiatives in Graduate Medical Education: Transforming the Medical Culture” was the theme of this year’s session. Participants were asked to submit abstracts that summarized either projects for teaching and assessing the six general competencies in which residents must demonstrate proficiency, or projects that developed creative approaches to residency duty hours and demonstrated their impact on education or resident and patient safety. Fifty-nine abstracts were submitted. Abstracts of the winning posters will be posted on the ACGME’s Web site, www.acgme.org. The 2005 poster session winners are:
