Each year the ACGME solicits proposals for sessions to be presented at the Annual Educational Conference. Below is key information for those considering submitting a session proposal.
The 2022 ACGME Annual Educational Conference hosted more than 5,000 attendees from across graduate medical education (GME).
When does the Call for Sessions open?
The Call for Sessions typically opens in June and closes in August. Specific dates each year will be announced in the ACGME’s weekly e-Communication, on www.acgme.org, and on the ACGME’s Twitter and LinkedIn accounts.
Who should submit a proposal?
Members of the GME community, including designated institutional officials (DIOs), program directors, program coordinators, faculty members, hospital administration/C-Suite/leadership, institutional/GME personnel, residents, and fellows.
What topics should proposals address?
Topics can address accreditation; education; assessment; well-being; diversity, equity, and inclusion; crisis management; current issues in medicine; and other GME-related research and innovations in the clinical learning environment.
Proposals should be interactive and display creativity and innovation in areas that meet the needs of the GME community. Applicants should rely on their expertise, and collaboration across programs and/or institutions is encouraged!
