In 2016, a Castlight Health report named Wilmington, North Carolina, the city with the highest abuse opioid abuse rate in the US. In response, Joseph Pino, MD, MHA, and members of the community sought to safely reduce the number of opioids prescribed, increase adherence to best practices in opioid prescribing, and reduce emergency department visits due to opioid overdose. His poster, presented at the 2019 ACGME Annual Educational Conference, reports the outcome of these multiple initiatives.

The ACGME is delighted to announce the 2023 Annual Educational Conference Marvin R. Dunn Keynote Address speakers, Drs. Theodore Corbin and Selwyn Rogers, in a panel conversation entitled “Healing from Trauma: Impacts on the Health Care Community," moderated by ACGME Chief Accreditation and Recognition Officer Lynne M. Kirk, MD, MACP. 

Physician well-being has been a key issue for the ACGME for as long as the organization has been serving the GME community.

The conference theme of “Meaning in Medicine” reflects the ACGME’s dedication to creating an inspiring, content-rich experience and emphasizes the importance of finding purpose and motivation in one’s career.

In her recent Baldwin Seminar presentation, The Impact of Adverse Events on Physicians and Residents: What Do Ethical Principles Say About Self-Care and Care of Colleagues, Dr. Joan Anzia explored psychological and physiological effects of adverse events on physicians, and what programs can do to help physicians.
