We improve health care and population health by assessing and enhancing the quality of resident and fellow physicians' education through advancements in accreditation and education.

We envision a health care system in which the Quadruple Aim* has been realized. We aspire to advance a transformed system of graduate medical education with global reach that is:

• Competency-based with customized professional development and identity formation for all physicians;
• Led by inspirational faculty role models overseeing supervised, humanistic, clinical educational experiences;
• Immersed in evidence-based, data-driven, clinical learning and care environments defined by excellence in clinical care, safety, cost-effectiveness, professionalism, and diversity, equity, and inclusion;
• Located in health care delivery systems equitably meeting local and regional community needs; and,
• Graduating residents and fellows who strive for continuous mastery and altruistic professionalism throughout their careers, placing the needs of patients and their communities first.
