In the 2021 ACGME Annual Educational Conference session, “Moving Urgently Toward Competency-Based Assessment in GME,” presenters from the ABMS and  ACGME discussed that “the ultimate outcome for graduate medical education is the Quadruple Aim: better outcomes; improved clinician experience; lower costs; improved patient experience.”

2021 Parker J. Palmer Courage to Lead Awardee Deborah M. DeMarco, MD is the senior associate dean for clinical affairs, associate dean for GME, and designated institutional official (DIO) at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. She specializes in rheumatology.

2021 David C. Leach Awardee Lt. Guen Hunt, MD, is a chief resident in the Medical Corps in the US Navy at the National Capital Consortium at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, specializing in internal medicine.

2021 Parker J. Palmer Courage to Teach Awardee Wilma F. Bergfeld, is the director of the dermatopathology fellowship, a senior dermatologist, and emeritus director, dermatopathology in the departments of dermatology and pathology at the Cleveland Clinic.

Outstanding medical skills are not the same as leadership skills, and many newly appointed chief residents find a gap between their education and training and their new leadership role. To bridge that gap, the ACGME offers the Leadership Skills Training Program for chief residents.
