This special edition of the ACGME's weekly e-Communication includes information on a well-being webinar May 7, and Frequently Asked Questions.

2021 Parker J. Palmer Courage to Teach Awardee Steven R. Brown, MD, FAAFP is the program director for family medicine at University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix.

The ACGME welcomed attendees back to the first in-person Annual Educational Conference since 2020. Thursday featured multiple Full-Day Courses, tailored to specific roles and functions in GME, a networking event for coordinators, a reception for residents and fellows, the annual Marvin R. Dunn Welcoming Poster Reception and Exhibitor Kick-Off, and a celebratory dinner for awardees.

Annual Educational Conference attendees looking for a stimulating discussion found all that and more at the featured plenary session, Achieving Health Equity with Dr. Camara Jones, on Friday morning. The session engaged attendees in various dimensions to issues they may not have been aware of, and reignited their energy and passion for issues they care about deeply.

The conference’s theme, “Meaning in Medicine,” reflects the ACGME's commitment to an inspiring, content-rich experience where attendees can connect and enhance the tools that enable them to deliver meaningful excellence in health care and medical education.

A spotlight on conference sessions, and activities that may appeal to attendees interested in DEI topics - a list we hope will help with #ACGME2024 planning.
