The ACGME is pleased to present the CLER National Report of Findings 2021.

A Q and A with Rola Hamam, MD about her team's poster from the 2024 ACGME Annual Educational Conference, “Impact of the Economic Crisis, COVID-19, and the Beirut Explosion on Ophthalmology Training in Lebanon.”

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 week's e-Communication includes information on the final public forum about revising foundational competencies for undergraduate medical education, submitting New Ideas to the Journal of Graduate Medical Education, the 2022 Milestones National Report, and more.

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 recognizes the hundreds of volunteers who dedicate their time and expertise to supporting the organization's Mission to improve health care and population health.
