The next post in the Partnerships to Establish and Sustain Rural GME series looks at the University of Minnesota General Surgery Rural Track.

Unlike the peer-reviewed content in the rest of the journal, articles in the ACGME News and Views section of JGME are dedicated to reports and updates from and about the work of the ACGME.

The Annals of Internal Medicine published “The Internal Medicine Reporting Milestones: Cross-sectional Description of Initial Implementation in U.S. Residency Programs” on May 10, 2016.

The ACGME has developed a process to allow accredited programs to request Program Emergency Categorization when planned resident/fellow experiences are disrupted due to a local epidemic/pandemic surge.

Lynne Kirk, MD, MACP will join the ACGME to lead efforts related to the review of residency and fellowship programs. She will begin this new position in September.

This edition of the e-Communication includes information on the toolkit to help aid programs and incoming learners transition from medical school to residency; renaming the Diversity and Inclusion Award to honor Barbara Ross-Lee, DO; and  nominations to Review Committees.
