The ACGME looks forward to welcoming international attendees to the ACGME 2023 Annual Educational Conference with a variety of sessions of interest to a global audience.

Dr. Hedy Wald of Boston Children’s Hospital-Harvard Medical School and the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University was a first-time ACGME Annual Educational Conference attendee as a result of acceptance of her poster, Faculty Videos – An Innovation within Residency Resilience Skills Programs at Two Institutions, for presentation at the Poster Session. An avid social networker, she introduced herself to us at the Twitter Board on Thursday morning before the pre-conferences, and we continued the conversation throughout and after the conference. We asked Dr. Wald about her experience as a poster presenter and first-time attendee of our conference.

This first post in a new series focuses on resources provided by the ACGME on its website and distance learning platform for residents and fellows.

As a resource to the graduate medical education community, the ACGME is sharing the following statement from FSMB regarding hospital access to the organization's Physician Data Center.

The #ACGME2025 Program Guide is now available; review and comment on the Institutional Requirements; a new obstetrics and gynecology pilot; a new resource for overcoming barriers to mental health care; and more.

The ACGME recognizes and appreciates the heroic response of hospitals and physicians in the worsening COVID-19 pandemic in New York State. With that acknowledgement, the ACGME Common Program Requirements (Section VI.F.) remain in place nationally.

The ACGME and Arnold P. Gold Foundation DeWitt C. Baldwin, Jr. Award recognizes institutions with accredited residency/fellowship programs that are exemplary in fostering a respectful, supportive environment for medical education and the delivery of patient care, which leads to the personal and professional development of learners.

The next post in the Partnerships to Establish and Sustain Rural GME series is an interview with Dr. Robert Gobbo of the Providence Hood River Family Medicine Residency Rural Training Program.
