Coordinators

The ACGME is delighted to announce the 2022 Annual Educational Conference Marvin R. Dunn Keynote Address and Closing Plenary speakers, two dynamic and engaging presenters whose messages will resonate with the entire graduate medical education (GME) community during these challenging times.

The 2022 ACGME Annual Educational Conference will be a fully virtual experience for the second year in a row, including pre-conferences. While the conference will offer content in live, semi-live, and on-demand formats, the pre-conferences are almost entirely live, which presents a unique and exciting opportunity to connect and learn. 

This year’s theme, Meaning in Medicine: Rebuilding Connections, highlights both the importance of the work that is done every day and the imperative to continually rebuild professional connections
