The medical malpractice insurance coverage for residents and fellows employed at Hahnemann University Hospital (HUH) between January 2018 and September 2019 has been extended to March 12, 2020 at 12:01 a.m.

This update includes information on the status of malpractice insurance for former Hahnemann residents and fellows, resources for these individuals, and the ACGME Institutional Requirements regarding professional liability insurance.

The ACGME's Back to Bedside initiative seeks innovative ideas to increase time residents and fellows spend with patients and reduce physician burnout.

A US bankruptcy court approved a settlement today with Hahnemann University Hospital’s (HUH) owner to pay for the professional liability tail insurance for the more than 500 residents and fellows displaced by the hospital closure last year.

Twenty-five individuals and three institutions were recognized for innovation at Annual Educational Conference in San Diego, California.

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.

This edition of the ACGME e-Communication includes Review and Recognition Committee news, information on Clinical Learning Environment Review (CLER) Site Visits, and nomination solicitations for public and resident Review Committee members. 

This week's e-Communication includes additional ACGME Equity Matters modules now available in Learn at ACGME; new solicitations for resident members for selected Review Committees; a request for feedback to inform a major revision of the Institutional Requirements, and more.
