The third and final day of the 2023 ACGME Annual Educational Conference was bookended by important plenaries – the first Coordinator Plenary, the Marvin R. Dunn Keynote Address, and Closing Plenary.

Though the 2022 Annual Educational Conference will be held in a virtual environment, consistent with the conference theme of Meaning in Medicine: Rebuilding Connections, engaging and valuable networking opportunities are planned to provide participants with ways to meet new colleagues and reconnect with longstanding friends.

“All of you are a part of the solution… if there is anything we can do to help you individually or institutionally, we are here to help. I want to thank you for taking on the responsibility to make these cultural changes. It will make this change happen.”

More than 3,000 attendees gathered for the CEO Address at the Annual Educational Conference. The message was loud and clear: it’s time for us to collaborate and make change.

Letter from ACGME President & CEO Dr. Thomas J. Nasca describing the changes being implemented to respond to the current environment, balanced with accreditation responsibilities to residents and fellows, patients, and the public.

Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC is one of four honorees receiving the ACGME’s Barbara Ross-Lee, DO Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Award in 2022. Dr. Aisha Barber, who serves as program director of the pediatric residency program and a member of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Steering Committee there answered the ACGME’s questions about the outstanding measures this program has taken to foster DEI.

The 2023 ACGME Annual Educational Conference will offer four exceptional plenaries for attendees to choose from on Friday, February 24, 2023.

The 2019 ACGME Annual Educational Conference was a remarkable event this year. A record 3,739 attendees gathered to learn, to network, and most importantly, to Rediscover Meaning in Medicine. We want to thank all of the speakers, poster presenters, awardees, other attendees, Board and Committee members, staff members, exhibitors, and other participants who helped make this another outstanding and successful year for the Annual Educational Conference.
