Submit a musical piece as part of the new Arts and Humanities in Medicine program at #ACGME2026; participate in ACGME LINC sessions; participate in accreditation site visit office hours; and learn how to write strong abstracts in a new course offered in Learn.

We’re at the mid-way point in the five-year transition to a single GME accreditation system—and this is our third pre-conference for osteopathic residency and fellowship programs. A lot has happened in the last few years, and we’re proud of our expanding family—not just on the program side, but also on the accreditation and governance side.

Two weeks left for the #ACGME2026 Call for Abstracts; respond to the Common Program Requirements major revision stakeholder survey; register for office hours and other engagement opportunities; and more.

As the current chair of the ACGME Board of Directors, Rowen Zetterman, MD, filled several important roles at this year’s Annual Educational Conference, presenting awards and introducing Dr. Nasca for his President and CEO Address among them. We caught up with Dr. Zetterman in between his activities to learn a little more about his experience the last few years with the ACGME and, in particular, at the Annual Educational Conference.

Call for Abstracts for #ACGME2026 closes this week; introducing ACGME LINC; and more.

Submit a work of music for Arts and Humanities in Medicine at #ACGME2026; view the full #ACGME2026 schedule; sign up to participate in ACGME LINC; and file mid-year Milestones.

“Milestones” has been a part of the ACGME vocabulary for nearly 17 years now. In the final session of the 2018 Annual Educational Conference, Eric Holmboe, MD, MACP, FRCP, senior vice president, Milestone Development and Evaluation, kicked off a discussion about the Milestones today and the Milestones to come.

For the first time since 2012, the ACGME today presented the John C. Gienapp Distinguished Service Award to Timothy C. Flynn, MD, FACS. The award is named for Dr. John Gienapp, who was the ACGME’s Executive Director for 19 years. Dr. Gienapp made several important contributions to GME and ACGME accreditation, and when he retired this award was established in his honor to recognize those who, like himself, dedicated themselves to a career in graduate medical education and made outstanding contributions to residency education and ACGME activities in a variety of ways.
