A two-day visit to Jakarta by ACGME leaders reinforced the growing relationship as ACGME Global Services works with Indonesia’s Ministry of Health to improve the scale and quality of GME and training in the fourth-most-populous country in the world.

As part of its commitment to staff and community well-being, the ACGME is partnering with Hope For The Day, a Chicago-based non-profit organization dedicated to mental health support and suicide prevention.

The ACGME is proud to announce the 21 recipients of the third cycle of funding for Back to Bedside, a resident-led initiative to develop innovative strategies for finding deeper connections with patients, improving physician and patient well-being.

This week's e-Communication includes information on the Clinical Learning Environment Review (CLER) Program's latest report, new AWARE resources for well-being, Milestones news, and more.

This week's edition includes details on a Letter to the Community from ACGME President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas J. Nasca, MD, MACP regarding feedback gathered at listening sessions regarding ACGME processes during the COVID-19 pandemic; information on the Annual Educational Conference; updates to the ACGME's Physician Well-Being section of the website, and Review and Comment of Milestones 2.0 and ACGME Specialty-Specific Requirements.

These new requirements that all accredited US residency and fellowship programs follow in preparing today's physicians for practice reinforce a culture of patient safety and physician well-being by focusing on patient-centered, team-based care.

The ACGME is pleased to present the CLER National Report of Findings 2021.

Nick Yaghmour is the Associate Director for Well-Being and Milestones Research at the ACGME. We asked him about his experience with the conference, his role, and what else he's working on.

The ACGME welcomes the publication of the two iCOMPARE papers in the New England Journal of Medicine. 

The ACGME has selected 30 resident/fellow teams to receive the fourth cycle of funding for Back to Bedside, a resident-led initiative to develop innovative strategies for finding deeper connections with patients, improving physician and patient well-being.
