FRIDAY! #ACGME2025 Volunteer Opportunity
In “ACGME Paving the Path to Medicine: Promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Nashville, Tennessee,” local college students from communities underrepresented in medicine will learn about careers in medicine, meet with faculty members, and participate in activities. The ACGME is pleased to partner with Meharry Medical College in a community-centered event on Thursday, February 20, 2025, in Nashville, Tennessee. Participants can gain first-hand experience participating in a pathway program they can replicate at their own institutions for a lasting impact on the future of the physician workforce.

Resident/Fellow and Faculty Surveys
The reporting period for the ACGME’s annual Resident/Fellow and Faculty Surveys opens February 10, 2025, and will run for eight weeks, ending April 4, 2025. The ACGME anticipates sending survey reports in early May. The ACGME will send Sponsoring Institution and program leadership survey alerts at the beginning and throughout the administration period. Program leaders are still charged with alerting their survey takers regarding participation, using the existing mechanisms in ADS, during the survey administration period. Programs should review and, if necessary, update their Resident/Fellow and Faculty Rosters in ADS before the surveys open to ensure accurate scheduling of participants.
NEW! Emergency Medicine Geographically Distant Participating Sites
The Review Committee requires additional information from programs that wish to add a geographically distant participating site.

Copy and complete this table and email to Senior Accreditation Administrator Bianca Andino.

NEW! Journal of Graduate Medical Education Articles of the Week
A Rapid-Response Curricular Approach to Teaching Politically Charged Topics
Janet B. Henrich, MD; Katherine A. Gielissen, MD, MHS; Cynthia F. McNamara, MD; et al.
Recent restrictions on reproductive and gender-affirming health care create challenges for residency programs in states with restrictive laws. This study shares the results of a six-step curriculum development process conducted in 2022 and applied in a constrained timeframe. The curriculum module was effective in preparing residents to provide comprehensive care considering legal changes.
Incorporating Climate Change Education Into Residency: A Focus on Community Risks and Resources
Charles Moon, MD; Sandra Braganza, MD, MPH; Eleanor Bathory, MD, MS

The authors of this article created and implemented a new climate change education session emphasizing anticipatory guidance, community resources, and advocacy opportunities.
