The ACGME Board of Directors recently reviewed and approved several specialty- and subspecialty-specific Program Requirements, which were updated to align with the Board’s requirements for allocation of dedicated time for program leadership, core faculty members, and program coordinators.

ACGME CEO Dr. Nasca explores recent statistics on resident deaths reported in Academic Medicine and offers strategies and interventions for programs to follow in supporting learner and faculty member well-being year round.

The ACGME presented awards to 23 recipients at its Annual Educational Conference, including the inaugural DeWitt C. Baldwin Jr. Award presented in partnership with the Arnold P. Gold Foundation.

The ACGME is embarking on a full review of its Common Program Requirements in two phases over the next 18 months.

Nine Pathway Leaders will form a Patient Safety Collaborative focused on creating and testing a framework for residents and fellows to engage with their learning environments in promoting a culture of safety.

The ACGME released its 2016-2017 Data Resource Book, which includes data on the size, scope, and distribution of graduate medical education in the US. Data shows residents in ACGME pipeline programs increased 20 percent over the last 10 years.

Thirty proposals were selected for their ability to enhance the resident/fellow-patient connection, and foster joy and meaning in work. A total of $130,000 at different funding levels will be awarded, renewable up to two years.

Attend a course or workshop; learn how residents and fellows can become Review Committee members; submit a job posting for the ACGME Conference Job Board; and more.

Learn about the newly approved Program Requirements for Combined Programs; plan to attend the 2025 ACGME Annual Educational Conference; and participate in office hours about Non-Standard Training programs.
