Introduction to Sponsoring Institutions and Clinical Learning Environments

Overview

The ACGME’s Department of Sponsoring Institutions and Clinical Learning Environment Programs invites institutional coordinators to enroll in the Institutional Coordinator Workshop. This workshop will be offered twice in virtual, seven-week courses in the summer and fall of 2024. Participants will hear from Institutional Review Committee members, ACGME staff members, and experienced institutional coordinators on the role of the institutional coordinator and the basics of ACGME accreditation. Session topics include information on a year in the life of an institutional coordinator; the ACGME annual accreditation cycle; institutional accreditation and requirements; the Clinical Learning Environment Review (CLER) Program; the Milestones and assessments; diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in graduate medical education; the Accreditation Data System (ADS); systems-based education; and leadership.

This course requires pre-work and real-time participation. The live sessions are highly interactive—attendee engagement is expected. In each course offering, there will be seven two-hour live sessions in which participants will interact with ACGME staff members and network with colleagues. Live sessions will be conducted through Zoom. To participate, registrants must be available during all times indicated. A certificate of completion will be provided to all participants who attend at least six sessions, participate in the pre-work, and respond to the course evaluation surveys (distributed at course mid-point and end-point).
 

Who Should Attend?

This course is designed for new and experienced institutional coordinators who are actively involved in the administration and management of an ACGME-accredited Sponsoring Institution. While this course is tailored to new institutional coordinators (two years of experience in their role or less), all interested institutional coordinators are welcome to enroll.

The course is not meant for program coordinators, program directors, associate program directors, or designated institutional officials.
 

Registration

The registration fee is $499.00 and includes copies of session materials. For each course offering, attendance is limited to 50 participants. Registration is available on a first come, first served basis. Materials will only be provided to course participants. Registration will open Monday, May 13.
