The ACGME released its 2020-2021 Data Resource Book, the most comprehensive and reliable resource of its kind, including data on the size, scope, and distribution of graduate medical education in the US.

This week's e-Communication has details on a designation questionnaire added for those seeking Rural Track Program (RTP) designation; information on how to view select sessions from the 2023 ACGME Annual Educational Conference on demand; updated Milestones; and a link to the latest episode of the Hot Topics in MedEd podcast.

Lorene Cudjoe's poster, Increasing Diversity and Inclusion in Graduate Medical Education through Mentorship, presented at #ACGME2021, highlights a program designed to pair volunteer mentors with medical students preparing for the Match, for a look into how mentorship could help students identifying as racial or ethnic minorities match more successfully into their specialty of choice.

Dr. Nasca updates the graduate medical education committee on topics related to physician well-being, streamlining our data collection processes, and the upcoming Resident and Faculty Surveys.

Featured in this e-Communication is information on the new preventive medicine specialties, resident member nominations for a variety of Review Committees, registration for a institutional coordinator workshop, and more.
