The ACGME provides an update on recent efforts related to the Physician Well-Being initiative.

This four-year initiative is designed to promote transformative improvement within the clinical learning environments of ACGME-accredited Sponsoring Institutions in which resident and fellow physicians pursue their formal clinical training education.

Eight Sponsoring Institutions will participate in the Pursuing Excellence in Clinical Learning Environments initiative announced earlier this year. The four-year initiative is aimed at driving improvements within clinical learning environments.

Responding to evidence of high rates of depression and suicide among US health care workers, the ACGME joined the National Academy of Medicine, which launched a wide-ranging "action collaborative" to promote clinician well-being.

The ACGME has released the first in a series of Issue Briefs relating to the recently released CLER National Report of Findings 2016.
