At the 2021 ACGME Annual Educational Conference, Athena Gonzalez and her team presented their poster, Strategies for Optimizing Fit Testing for Residents and the Evolving Role of the Program Coordinator, about their work in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure residents were wearing properly sized and fitted masks and respirators, even as supplies changed.

This special edition of the ACGME's weekly e-Communication includes a statement on personal protective equipment and new Frequently Asked Questions the ACGME is receiving regarding accreditation and recognition activities during the pandemic crisis.

If you were working in GME back in the 80s, maybe you attended one of the ACGME’s early forerunners of the Annual Educational Conference.

This week's e-Communication includes the deadline extension for the Barbara Ross-Lee, DO Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Award, requirements available for Review and Comment, public member openings on Review Committees and more. 

The 2022 ACGME Annual Educational Conference kicked off—appropriately, on National Doctors’ Day—with five pre-conferences, each tailored to a specific role in graduate medical education (GME). Despite the virtual setting, the pre-conferences featured community, connection, and deep collective learning.

Dr. Weinstein brings a wealth of academic medicine leadership experience to this role, with an impressive history of contributions and impact in graduate medical education.

The ACGME is delighted to announce the 2022 Annual Educational Conference Marvin R. Dunn Keynote Address and Closing Plenary speakers, two dynamic and engaging presenters whose messages will resonate with the entire graduate medical education (GME) community during these challenging times.
