On this first full day of the ACGME Annual Educational Conference, attendees were encouraged to “reignite the fire” of passion that drives them to work in graduate medical education, and to rediscover their meaning in medicine.

The ACGME’s and medical community’s prioritization of physician well-being made the issue a central of theme at the 2018 Annual Educational Conference. Gender-Specific Challenges in Burnout, a session led by speakers Carol Bernstein, MD and Kimberly Templeton, MD, explored a variety of factors that contribute specifically to the risk of burnout and differences between what men and women face in this arena.

Over the past two years, we’ve all become accustomed to attending events virtually. As we look forward to the 2022 ACGME Annual Educational Conference, taking place March 30-April 1, the ACGME is excited to offer invaluable content for all roles in graduate medical education (GME), again in a virtual setting.

The theme of the 2021 ACGME Annual Educational Conference evokes not one but two key elements to what a conference experience in 2021 must provide: Meaning in Medicine: Mastering the Moment.
