The 2019 ACGME Annual Educational Conference offers multiple sessions focused on osteopathic medicine and accreditation and numerous opportunities for attendees from all corners of graduate medical education to learn and connect.

If you’re joining us in Orlando next week, here’s a quick list of tips and information to know before you arrive! See you soon!

2020 David C. Leach Awardee Dr. Andrew Vivas is currently an assistant attending and adult and pediatric spinal deformity fellow at Columbia University, and was formerly a neurological surgery resident at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida.

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.

The next post in the Partnerships to Establish and Sustain Rural GME series looks at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics Authority.

This week's edition of the e-Communication includes the National Learning Community of Sponsoring Institutions meeting Call for Submissions; a feedback opportunity on the Milestones Guidebooks; a reminder about the Year-End Milestones reporting window opening; public and resident/fellow member nominations for a variety of Review Committees; and more.

The ACGME is assisting the residents and fellows displaced by the impending Hahnemann University Hospital (HUH) closure by compiling available positions; communicating with HUH regarding ACGME policy, arranging for the timely transfer of residents/fellows; and making filings with the bankruptcy court.
